No weapons, no allies…What hope does Batman have now?!

Batman’s struggle against Zur, the demonic personality locked within Bruce’s mind, has culminated in the activation of Failsafe, a homicidal robot Batman who now stalks the streets of Gotham doling out “real justice.” Meanwhile, the real Batman is trapped within his own mind, literally and metaphorically, rallying as best he can against the traps he’d inadvertently laid for himself. But how can Batman defeat Batman? And what about his family, now left under the charge of an out-of-control robot with all of Batman’s skills and none of his morals?
Chip Zdarsky is a Canadian comic book writer and artist known for his work on titles like Sex Criminals, Daredevil, Jughead, and Batman. His work has garnered widespread acclaim and awards, including an Eisner Awards for Best New Series, Best Humor Publication, and Best Digital Comic, as well as multiple Harvey Awards wins and GLAAD Media Award wins.
