DC Comics Batman: Bad Seeds crossover event

Overview

DC Comics has launched the major crossover event ‘Batman: Bad Seeds’, beginning with the issue ‘Sunset #1’. Written by Matt Fraction and G. Willow Wilson with art by Giuseppe Camuncoli, the narrative depicts a power struggle in Gotham City between Mayor Pamela Isley (Poison Ivy) and Police Commissioner Vandal Savage.

Following an armed insurrection by Savage and his paramilitarized police force, Isley has implemented a contingency plan to transform Gotham into a prehistoric jungle of plant life. This rapid, primal transformation threatens to isolate the city from its skyscrapers to its sewers, forcing the Bat-family to face a city undergoing a massive environmental shift.

This event occurs alongside the expansion of the Batman universe through the ‘Absolute Batman’ series, which features an alternate continuity with redesigned villains such as a monstrous Joker and a zombie-like Mr. Freeze.
