Batman: New Gotham Vol. 2 (Detective Comics (1937-2011)) Kindle & comiXology
Sasha Bordeaux was hired by the board of Wayne Enterprises as the personal bodyguard to the company’s owner, millionaire Bruce Wayne. She’s supposed to be offering him round-the-clock protection, but night after night, her infuriating charge gives her the slip. He clearly wants to keep his activities private, but what does a superficial playboy have to hide?
As Sasha gets closer to discovering Bruce Wayne’s double life, she and Batman begin a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. If the bodyguard learns the Dark Knight’s identity, can she be trusted to protect it? Or will the whole world learn the truth?
Featuring the Mad Hatter, Superman, Two-Face and more, Batman: New Gotham Vol. 2 collects Detective Comics #755-765 and Superman #168, from beloved writer Greg Rucka (Wonder Woman, Batwoman) and artists Shawn Martinbrough (Thief of Thieves), Rick Burchett (Batman Adventures) and more.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Compelling drama...a great example of the literary and artistic maturity of the graphic novel format." --School Library Journal
"Outstanding...a deft mash-up of the super-hero saga and police procedural." --Booklist
"This Greg Rucka/Ed Brubaker/Michael Lark monthly comic was short-lived but absolutely fantastic. Essentially Homicide: Life on the Street where the criminals are all costumed lunatics, GOTHAM CENTRAL focused on the nitty-gritty police work performed by its gigantic cast of detectives." --Entertainment Weekly
"Critically acclaimed, if never a smash hit, GOTHAM CENTRAL was a distinctly grounded take on the Batman mythology filled with an ensemble cast who were particularly unlikely to show up in that month's issue of JUSTICE LEAGUE or SUPERMAN--imagine Hill Street Blues, but with the Joker showing up to cause mass terror every now and again. With minimal appearances from Batman throughout the run, GOTHAM CENTRAL demonstrated how well a police procedural could work in a world of super-villains and larger-than-life threats, given the appropriate treatment." --Hollywood Reporter

About the authors
Greg Rucka is an award-winning author of comics, novels, and screenplays, including 2020’s The Old Guard, starring Charlize Theron. He is the author of some two-dozen novels, including the Atticus Kodiak series (Keeper, Finder, Smoker, Shooting at Midnight, Patriot Acts, and Walking Dead) as well as the Queen & Country series (A Gentelman’s Game, Private Wars, and The Last Run) which expands upon his Eisner-winning series of the same name, published by Oni Press.
He is the co-creator of the series Lazarus (with Michael Lark,) and Black Magick (with Nicola Scott) as well as The Old Guard stories with co-creator Leandro Fernandez. He is a multiple GLAAD, Eisner, and Harvey Award winner. His writing has included stories for both Marvel and DC, as well as penning three "middle-reader" Star Wars novellas.
Rucka was born in San Francisco and raised on the Monterey Peninsula. He earned his A.B. in English from Vassar College, and his MFA from USC. His first novel was published when he was 24, his first comic book series — Whiteout, from Oni Press — some five years later. He is married to writer Jennifer Van Meter. They have two children and one dog.
Initially training to be a lawyer, Mike had always wanted to tell stories in pictures. Driven by a love of comics and animation he abandoned the life of a bewigged barrister and instead has spent the last 35 years writing and drawing adventures featuring the most iconic heroes in the US, UK and Europe.
For Marvel Comics he's drawn the X-Men, Sub-Mariner and contributed to a Hugo nominated Captain Britain Graphic Novel 'Vampire State'. He's drawn Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Flash amongst others, for DC Comics. For both companies, he's written and drawn graphic stories featuring the many incarnations of Star Trek. In the UK he's been the main artist on the relaunched Doctor Who franchise for Panini and has drawn BBC graphic novels The Only Good Dalek and The Dalek Project.
For Norway, he's the artist on the Varg Veum series of graphic novels, written by the character's creator Gunnar Staalesen.
He's also author of the first Welsh language graphic novel Y Mabinogi, itself an adaptation of an animated feature based on the Welsh myth cycle. Outside of comics, he's also written for the Star Trek book series - 'Starfleet Corps of Engineers'.
The Classical Comics adaptation of Dicken's A Christmas Carol drawn by Mike made it into The Daily Telegraph's Top Ten graphic novels of that year.
These days he's principally the storyboard artist on the DOCTOR WHO tv show, but has also recently boarded Good Omens , A Discovery of Witches and His Dark Materials for Amazon Prime and the BBC.
He also the artist on the critically acclaimed APOLLO graphic novel written by Chris Baker and Matt Fitch, detailing the first Moon landing.
Based in Cardiff, Wales his studio is a stone's throw away from The Rift featured in the Torchwood TV series. Often, after a day spent drawing the comic book adventures of Doctor Who he finds himself walking through the filming of the actual show.
