    They've got him CORNERED.

    They've got him OUTNUMBERED.

    They've got him TRAPPED.

    They're in TROUBLE.

    Gotham City P.D. has Batman trapped in an allegedly abandoned tenement. They proceed to bomb it from the air. Batman scrambles to the safety of a sub-basement, but loses his utility belt when the thermite in it ignites. After the bombing ceases, Branden's SWAT team scours the building and a wounded Batman, wounded and missing most of his weapons, has to fight his way to freedom.

    Meanwhile, Detective Gordon begins an affair with his partner and Selina Kyle is inspired to don a costume of her own - a catsuit.

    They Have Him Trapped and Outnumbered - Too Bad for Them 0

    Batman #406 - Black Dawn by gc8 on February 05, 2012

    Frank Miller's awesome 'Batman: Year One' continues in 'Black Dawn'. Batman is trapped in an abandoned building. When Branden's SWAT team closes in he's forced to fight his way to freedom. Meanwhile Detective Gordon feels his life falling apart as he and Barbara continue to argue and he embarks on an affair with his partner. And, Selina Kyle is inspired to don a catsuit and pursue a new line of work.  One of the great things about this story arc beyond the fact that it tells the origin of Batman...

    One more to go!This issue slows things down a bit and focuses mostly on Batman's escape from the swat team sent in to kill him. Just Batman being cool, basically. After the escape, (which had an awesome scene with the bats and all), Wayne's alibi is that he's skiing in Switzerland. While there, Bruce ponders on getting Gordon on his side.Elsewhere, Selina punches out her pimp and a month later, she's officially Catwoman (though not my favorite design of the character).
