A single theft cuts to the heart of Gotham s Dark Knight and time becomes his most ruthless enemy. Tom King (Batman, Mister Miracle) crafts a razor-sharp psychological thriller that dissects motive, identity, and obsession with surgical precision. This is Batman pushed to his emotional edge, where every second exposes a deeper truth about who he is beneath the armour. When a trio of Gotham s most notorious villains tear away something deeply personal from Bruce Wayne, Batman becomes a man racing the clock not just to reclaim what was stolen, but to confront the wounds the theft has reopened. As Catwoman, the Riddler, and the Penguin turn on one another in escalating desperation, Batman is forced to push past anger, loss, and the limits of his own restraint. This is a story about what Batman fights for when the mission becomes painfully intimate and what Gotham s villains reveal about who he is underneath the mask. Every betrayal exposes a deeper truth, every clue leads closer to the heart of his pain, and every hour brings him nearer to understanding the cost of being Gotham s protector. Tom King (Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Sheriff of Babylon) delivers a precise, character-first script brought vividly to life by David Marquez (Miles Morales: Spider-Man, Civil War II), whose clean storytelling and dramatic clarity heighten the tension on every page. Collects Batman: Killing Time #1 6.
Tom King is an Eisner Award winning writer known for redefining modern superhero storytelling in critically acclaimed works such as Batman, Mister Miracle, and Human Target. His writing blends emotional depth with literary structure and bold reinvention.
