BATMAN #52
written by TOM KING
art and cover by LEE WEEKS
variant cover by OLIVIER COIPEL
“Cold Days” continues! The jury in the Mr. Freeze trial is hopelessly deadlocked because one man won’t vote guilty—and that man is Bruce Wayne. Freeze’s defense is that Batman used excessive force, making his arrest illegal, and Bruce is the one man who actually knows for sure what went down between Batman and his ice-cold nemesis. And if Bruce is right, that means everything he’s devoted himself to as the Caped Crusader is a lie; he is hurting more than helping. With Dick Grayson putting the Batsuit back on to keep Gotham City safe while Bruce is sequestered, could this be the out Bruce needs to discard the cape and cowl forever?
The Eisner Award-nominated team of Tom King and Lee Weeks reexamine the relationship between hero and foe, as Batman relives not just that one violent night when he took down the King of Cold, but every time the two have come to blows.

Almost 100 pages of Red Hood in August, nice!!!

It also great to see Roy meeting with Jason because it's been so long and Batman solicit actually seem interesting. So, Red Hood (both the issue and annuel of course), Batman and Catwoman for August.

I hoping since Red hood loses the fight between he wins the moral argument if that makes any sense they might. I feel like the series is ending soon though

I don't think he necessary lost and more that the two just give each others quite the beating.

Artemis and Bizarro absent is worrisome, but I guess we will find out more next month.

Wow, Batman is getting his ass handed to him on a lot of those covers.

I love Daffy Duck but I don't know if I can handle Scott Lobdell and Brett Booth in one issue
