"Gotham City after dark is a dangerous place. Gotham City after midnight is hell on earth. There's a new kind of madman loose in Gotham and he's out to steal the city's heart. The monstrosity named Midnight is convinced that he's doing Batman's job, only better than Batman ever could. As the city descends into madness, it's Batman's duty to stop Midnight. But the newcomer has manipulated an exceptionally unstable Joker, a giant Clayface and others into destroying the Dark Knight for him! Can Batman restore peace to a city that's growing colder and more heartless by the minute? Or have the people forsaken their patron protector to live in the shadow of Midnight's perpetual terror?" -- p. [4] of cover.
