In previous stories, Batman and Joker’s first meeting has been explored, Superman went on a throwback pulp adventure, and Dan Mora explored an anime infused rendition of the Bat-mythos. Now, Emilia Harcourt will return from the dead, a tale of family and death, and a supernatural threat sets its sight on Gotham.
