A second Gotham beneath the city

Beneath Gotham lies a sealed counterpart whose inhabitants are warped reflections of the city above, sustained by its fear and hatred. When the barrier opens, a twisted version of Batman emerges with plans to train a Robin, while distorted versions of familiar villains spill into Gotham. Batman’s attempt to contain the threat brings him into an uneasy alliance with the Court of Owls, the group that guarded the passage for decades. Christian Ward frames this Batman conflict as cosmic horror, using the divided city and its mirrored figures to explore how fear can shape a place—and its enemies.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Batman and Gotham stories centered on alternate or distorted versions of familiar characters
  • Readers interested in superhero comics with cosmic-horror elements
  • Readers curious about the Court of Owls’ role in Gotham’s history

Book overview

Buried deep beneath Gotham City there exists another Gotham.

Multi-Eisner award winner Christian Ward unleashes this cosmic-horror epic of the twisted Gotham Below--now available in softcover!


Buried deep beneath Gotham City there exists another Gotham. This Gotham Below is a living nightmare, populated by twisted mirrors of our Gotham's denizens, fueled by the fear and hatred flowing down from above. For decades, the doorway between the cities has been sealed and heavily guarded by the Court of Owls. But now the door swings wide, and the twisted version of the Dark Knight has escaped...to trap and train a Robin of his own.

Batman must form an uneasy alliance with the Court and its deadly allies to stop him--and to hold back the wave of twisted super-villains, nightmarish versions of his own nemeses, each one worse than the last, that's spilling into his streets!

Visionary writer-artist Christian Ward unleashes a cosmic-horror take on Batman's world, and readers will never look at Batman's villains the same way again.
