The final battle has begun. Batman is storming the Orghams’ headquarters while his family saves Gotham’s citizens and the motley crew of villains he has allied with takes on the Orgham lieutenants. Nearly 30 issues has led to this. The lead story of Detective Comics #1,088 is written by Ram V, drawn by Guillem March,…
