WILL THE PARTY END HERE FOR ABSOLUTE BATMAN?

With his friends lives at stake, will a broken, beaten, and ultimately defeated Bruce Wayne finally compromise and give up both himself and his morals to Black Mask? Or does he have something even BIGGER than himself to help?

And what does this have to do with Mayor James Gordon and his relationship with a young Bruce Wayne?

All this and more in the penultimate issue to the first arc of ABSOLUTE BATMAN!
