Absolute Batman #20 Preview

 

Bruce Wayne stood there, in the darkness, as the man heard a crow cry. Then, instead of handing over the files he brought, his longtime friend took the cigarette from his mouth, tried to burn the files, and walked to the edge of the roof. Bruce leapt to save him. But nearby residents witnessed the tragic death. They filmed the incident on their cameras. So when Mayor Hill announces that Batman is a murderer, people believe it. 

Slade Wilson may be new to their city. But Mayor Hill assures viewers that he will keep them safe. And after constant battles in the night have rocked Gotham, Slade promises to banish the terrors of the night. How will Bruce Wayne continue after losing someone else important to him? And what difficulties will Batman encounter as he investigates the maze of facts that frightened his family friend to death?
