Product Description:
Who better than Batman to protect the dangerous city of Gotham, where even the cops are crooks? But the latest imminent terror might be too much for the burgeoning Caped Crusader, who is still carving out a place for himself in the minds of Gotham’s criminals.
There’s a host of deadly new weapons in Batman’s glittering, sinister city–in the hands of a psychotic mastermind called White Eyes. With his radical murder machine, the fiendish leader of Gotham’s racist Bavarian Brotherhood can move beyond dealing drugs and hot guns to pursue his real passion: the white supremacist takeover of America.
The homegrown terrorists’ first strike–at the heart of our nation’s capitol–is only weeks away. But first they’ll test out their killer toys on Batman, who is hot on the trail of White Eyes and his brutal militia. Ounce for ounce, muscle for muscle, Batman’s no match for the cunning villain and his wicked new firepower. At least, that’s how White Eyes sees it.
Batman has other ideas . . .

This is one of the better books I have read on Batman. (The other great one was "No Man's Land") This author really gets you into the feel of Batman, it may be a little to racial (Batman fights a white superemist who uses racial profanaties) but it is part of the story and why you want Batman to kick his butt even more. If you like Batman, you will like this, (As long as you are over 13 or so, to graphic for underage readers)

What a treat to have an author of John Shirley's skill dip his hands into the Batman mythos. It is funny that some reviewers have commented negatively about the inclusion of politics. Funny considering that Batman is a vigilante who would not exist if he was not frustrated by the system. The deep brooding that John Shirley brought to his batman is even more impressive if you realize he wrote before any of us saw Nolan's modern updating of batman.
John Shirley has created a brutal realistic ... Read More

A book set early in Batman's career, when Gordon is still a Captain. However, given the fluid superhero timelines and the gear Batman is using, it is set close to the modern day, with hints of anti terrorist combat air patrols being problems for Batman to sneak Batplanes past, and that sort of thing.
He uses body armor a lot at this point in Shirley's version, and actually gets hit by more than one bullet.
The antagonists are a group of crazy drug dealing white supremacists, led ... Read More

This book does a really good job of keeping you interested all the way through, some say the batman in this story isnt like the "original" batman, i dont think there's a wrong way to interpret batman, John Shirley does a good job. i mean take any comic character from it's beginning and look at it now...what are the odd's it's the exact same character? even if your a long time reader of batman or a newbie to the character you can enjoy this book.

I guess some of the folks who read this book were mad that Batman didn't drink Budweiser and go gaybashing. I found it to be an above average Batman yarn with action, interesting tech, odious villians, and a tough, smart Batman. Those who call this book "liberal" are the same guys using the term "College boy" as an insult. Maybe they were upset that Batman beat up white supremacists. They should just go watch some Larry the Cable guy movies and beat their kids.
