A classic Batman villain makes his New 52 debut this week.

Gotham City is in chaos.

Anarky returns.

Detective Comics #37 marks the return of
creative team Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato.

The team’s next arc starts with a murder and the arch-villain offers Gotham City a choice.

As the arc progresses will the citizens of Gotham let Batman save them from Anarky?

Anarky was co-created by Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle in the first volume of Detective Comics. Lonnie Machin was a child prodigy with a radical philosophy. The villain was obsessed with overthrowing established governments as a way to improve social conditions for all. The foe even has a brief solo series in the late 1990’s.

As you can see from the preview art – Batman faces Mad Hatter in the new arc kicking off this week:
