What happens in issue #11
The deadliest woman in the world, wielding two blades, returns — and her quest for blood puts her on a collision course with the Caped Crusader. As chaos ensues, Vandal Savage's corrupt GCPD won't be far behind. Meanwhile, the sinister Minotaur, who has been squeezing Gotham's underworld, finds himself on a path to reckoning courtesy of the Penguin. Source: DC Comics official July 2026 solicitations.
The creative team
Matt Fraction is one of the most acclaimed writers in superhero comics — best known for his Hawkeye run with David Aja (one of the most critically lauded comic book runs of the past 20 years) and his Immortal Iron Fist and Invincible Iron Man runs at Marvel. Jorge Jiménez is the definitive Batman artist of this era, whose work on the title has been universally praised for its kinetic energy and visual inventiveness. This is a collaboration that was widely anticipated before issue #1. Source: DC Comics official, Bleeding Cool.
Variant covers

The Aja 1:25 is the one collectors will be watching. $4.99 standard · $5.99 card stock variants · $7.99 foil. Source: DC Comics official July 2026 solicitations.
