As this new era of Batman begins, Bruce awakens from a nightmare. His thoughts fly to Selena Kyle. But when he calls her, she's busy. So, he continues with the task that's foremost on his mind: stopping the Penguin from killing more rich socialites.
In this first story in Batman #125, Failsafe: Part One, Tim Drake worries about his mentor. Since Bruce lost his fortune, he spends all his time as Batman. When an opportunity arises to protect the city and foil Penguin's plans by resuming his dashing bachelor, Bruce takes it. But events don't go the way Bruce expects.
Batman #125 also includes the backup story "Two Birds, One Throne." When villains battle for control of the Iceberg Lounge, Catwoman aids the Underbroker and the Executor to stop the fighting. As in Batman and Robin: Year One, a gang war is going on. The Executor has a plan to ensure that the Iceberg Lounge doesn't become part of their turf war, and it centers around Selena Kyle.
Belén Ortega contributes art to Chip Zdarsky's second story in Batman #125. Luis Guerrero provides coloring while Clayton Cowles handles the lettering. Selena wishes her life would settle down so she could relax in the evening and watch HBO. Thanks to DC Comics for sharing this look back at this debut issue.
Batman #125 is available in compilation Batman Vol 1: Failsafe in hardcover, paperback, and digital formats.
