Wayne of Gotham

The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters in July 2012. And the hype and excitement for Batman couldn’t be higher. Coming in late June from New York Times bestselling fantasy writer Tracy Hickman is WAYNE OF GOTHAM, an original story featuring Batman as he investigates into not only the events surrounding his parent’s murder but also the darkest secrets of his family’s past.

WAYNE OF GOTHAM is the story two men separated by a generation of tragedy: Thomas, the rebellious heir to the vast Wayne Empire and Bruce, his son whose life is forever altered by witnessing Thomas’ death. The murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne is the torturous point on which Bruce turns to become the Batman. The Dark Knight’s file on the case has long since been closed, the foundations of Bruce Wayne’s secret life secure in the simple symmetry of a mugging gone horribly wrong.

These foundations are shaken, however, when disturbing bits of information begin showing up in the Batman’s path that question the accepted story. Batman reopens the case file-and discovers a father and mother that he never knew and the burden of a dark legacy he must now bear.
