It’s Batman’s Gotham Knights Vs. The OMAC Army in DETECTIVE COMICS #980 (Exclusive Preview)

When DC Rebirth began for Detective Comics back in 2016, the Batman gathered some of his best sidekicks and proteges together to form something of a small army operating out of a new headquarters in Gotham City called “the Belfry.” Together with Red Robin, Batwoman, Spoiler, Orphan and reformed ex-villain Clayface, Batman was as close to achieving his dream of a Gotham free from crime as he’d ever been.

But now, in writer James Tynion IV’s swan song to Detective Comics, that family has fractured, and the so-called Gotham Knights are facing a crisis like one they’ve never face before in the form of the OMACs – the One Man Army Corps, in this context – in the storyline “Batmen Eternal.” In chapter five, GCPD officers Renee Montoya and Harvey Bullock need to be rescued from the OMACs as they set in  on Gotham Central.  Can Batwoman and the others save the day? Read our exclusive preview and find out!
