Batman: Gotham Knights – Gilded City is an American comic book published by the publishing company DC Comics. The six-issue limited series—written by Evan Narcisse and illustrated by ABEL—is a tie-in prequel to the video game Gotham Knights (2022), the premise revolving around Batman's final case before his death. It began publishing on October 25, 2022.

## Premise

[edit]

A mysterious virus has infected Gotham City, turning its citizens into rabid, yellow-irised maniacs driven to looting, theft, and bursts of anger. As Batman and his Gotham Knights—consisting of his protégés Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, and Red Hood—try to contain and stop the outbreak, their search for more information about the virus leads them to uncover the story of the Runaway, an early Gotham vigilante who dealt with a similar outbreak in the 1800s.[1]

## Publication
