Résumé: Elseworlds. A remarkable vision of a dystopian future from writer/artist Bob Hall (Shadowman)! In the year 2083, the legend of the Batman sparks a strange and deadly religion based on the Dark Knight. As the city-state of Gotham readies itself for the highlight of the religious calendar--the annual death race between the religion's leader and a group of sacrificial "lambs" surgically altered to resemble Batman's greatest foes--one would-be Joker tries to break the cycle and become the true inheritor of the heroic mantle of the Bat.
