Batman Eternal. Volume 1Batman Eternal. Volume 1

They call him the Roman. Once, he ruled Gotham City. Then a new wave of criminals and costumed crime-fighters pushed him out. Now Carmine Falcone has returned, determined to rebuild his empire and bring Gotham back to the time before the Bat, a criminal heyday of dirty cops, untouchable mobsters and bullets in the streets. With Jim Gordon locked away in Blackgate Penitentiary, the victim of a devious plot, the police are targeting Batman rather than the criminals. And deep beneath Gotham's surface, a profound evil is stirring.
