Today, DC’s blog The Source announced a new miniseries arriving on May 25, entitled Gates of Gotham. Co-written by Multiversity-favorite Scott Snyder and Kyle Higgins, it will be illustrated by Trevor McCarthy, and promises to explore Gotham City’s dark past. The secrets of Gotham have been explored in various Batman titles before, but (as far as I know), this is the first time that a whole series has been devoted to them. Be sure to swing by Multiversity Comics in late May for a review.
