Barbara Gordon: Breakout #4 Preview

 

Barbara Gordon didn't know what to make of Supermax before Vandal Savage became the Gotham City Police Commissioner. Then, she realized it was where he sent his enemies to die. So, she laid her bait, and sat in wait for his tactical team to storm her stronghold and arrest her. 

Barbara thought she had gotten one over on Vandal Savage. From the inside, she could investigate the mysterious prisoner deaths. But something strange is happening in Supermax. Barbara knows it's staring her in the face. Yet she can't put the clues together. Can Barbara trust her memories? Are her nightmarish visions illusions or real? And instead of tricking Vandal Savage, is Barbara the one who fell into a trap?
