The Rising is coming..... or is happening... I'm not quite sure, but what I do know is that President Bendix is creating an army of Post-Humans that he calls his Gamorra Corps and plans on selling his super-powered puppets to the highest bidders, but before any of that can really happen he has to knock our new Superman down a peg.... or knock him down completely and in doing so, we saw Jon framed for the murder of a Gamorra Corps member and if things couldn't look worse for Jon, Batman informed him at the end of the last issue that he couldn't trust his boyfriend, Jay Nakamura.

Let's head back to the Big Apple to see how Jace Fox is dealing with his defeat at the hands of New York's newest serial killer. The worst part about this is, that not only was Jace taken down a notch by this new villain but was humiliated in the process. Also, it turns out that this killer was inspired by Jace's arrival in New York and considered himself and Batman a team in cleaning up the trash of the city. So yeah, Jace isn't in the best place right now and it doesn't make it any better that because of his failure, the Commissioner became this killer's next target while our new Batman was busy licking his wounds. Let's jump into this issue and continue our look at this Batman figuring out who he is and how he operates in New York City. Let's check it out.
