Absolute Batman #9 (DC, 2025 — Cover A)

The latest development in saving the derelict and despondent of our society is a facility known as Arkham—a fully operational institution that has played a rather sizeable part, on purpose or not, in the creation of evil. And it's active. So when Bruce tries to infiltrate it and distill its secrets, a new villain from Gotham City arrives to deal with the problem—an old adversary of Alfred's—a man known only as Bane.
