Man's Land Vol 5
It was Gotham's darkest hour, and its
shocking conclusion left Batman fans breathless. Following the events
reprinted in BATMAN: CATACLYSM and BATMAN: NO MAN'S LAND Volumes 1-4, the
epic saga comes to a close in BATMAN: NO MAN'S LAND Volume 5 - a 208-page
trade paperback that delivers on the initial promise of the storyline by
dramatically altering the status quo of the Batman titles.
As the United States government moves
toward restoring post-Cataclysm Gotham City to the world, a new threat
arises for those trapped within. His name is Lex Luthor, and his ambition
is to do no less than own Gotham - and it will take all of the Dark
Knight's resources to stop him. But an even greater threat looms as
Batman's greatest foe emerges from the rubble of "No Man's Land"
- the Joker!
