Batman’s search to build his own Suicide Squad in DC’s Batman #9 leads to a double shocker from featuring two very different DC iconic women.

The Dark Knight isn’t going it alone for his latest adventure but who will join him on an insane mission to invade Bane’s homeland?

I Am Suicide is the second Batman arc by Tom King. Mikel Janin joins King for the follow-up to I Am Gotham.

Only Psycho-Pirate can cure Gotham Girl of her madness. Bane is holding the mind-controlling villain in his prison on his island. The Dark Knight is working with Amanda Waller to go on a mission that can only be described as “suicide.”

This week’s issue sees the return of a major Batman rogue, some we haven’t seen a while and cameo connected to a greater mystery within the DC Universe. Continue reading BATMAN’S SUICIDE SQUAD Surprises
