'Cold Days' continues! The jury in the Mr. Freeze trial is hopelessly deadlocked because one man won't vote guilty-and that man is Bruce Wayne. Freeze's defense is that Batman used excessive force- making his arrest illegal- and Bruce is the one man who actually knows for sure what went down between Batman and his ice-cold nemesis. And if Bruce is right- that means everything he's devoted himself to as the Caped Crusader is a lie; he is hurting more than helping. With Dick Grayson putting the Batsuit back on to keep Gotham City safe while Bruce is sequestered- could this be the out Bruce needs to discard the cape and cowl forever? The Eisner Award-nominated team of Tom King and Lee Weeks reexamine the relationship between hero and foe- as Batman relives not just that one violent night when he took down the King of Cold- but every time the two have come to blows.
