In the best tradition of Batman: Year One and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Gotham Central continues the 'film noir' makeover of the Batman mythology! Be it Mr Freeze or Firebug, in Gotham City, there's a whole new class of criminal that needs a new calibre of crime fighter. And while Batman gets all the glory, the cops on the streets continue dealing with the usual run-of-the-mill human misery. But what happens when the streams cross, when a dead girl and the return of a super-arsonist are linked? This is NYPD Blue as comics, gritty and raw, with no capes or utility belts just gut instinct, blind fear and selfless courage! It's business as usual at Gotham Central.
