Before the Bat-Signal lights the sky, Gotham’s detectives are already on the case. Gotham Central delivers a gripping police procedural set in the shadow of the Dark Knight, where the officers of the GCPD face down supervillains, corruption, and the chaos of a city on the edge. It’s Law & Order meets Batman—with no capes to save the day.

Gotham Central: DC Compact Comics Edition collects the first ten issues of the Eisner and Harvey Award-winning series by Ed Brubaker, Greg Rucka, and Michael Lark. This grounded, character-driven volume follows the detectives of Gotham City’s Major Crimes Unit as they investigate the murder of one of their own by Mister Freeze, navigate internal politics, and confront the psychological toll of working in a city haunted by both criminals and vigilantes. With appearances by Batman, Two-Face, and more, this is a street-level look at Gotham like you’ve never seen before.
