- Selina’s one-woman mission through the verdant wastes of Gotham City continues in Catwoman #92
- Batman’s prodigical son returns to Gotham but is it too late in Nightwing #135
- The Caped Crusader must fight his way across Gotham in one last desperate attempt to save the city in Detective Comics #1114
