The fear-
Over the years Batman/Bruce Wayne has fought many enemies. Sometimes he has had to fight the battle within his psyche, or losses with his past. In recent tales, his nightmares are becoming real, old foes are gaining strength once more (allies of the Court of Owls). Old Gotham was a different place, of a past life, but like all things it never goes away like a cut that never heals.

From Scarecrow, Black Mask, and Mr.Toxic, to the rebirth of Two Face/Harvey Dent. Each of these are players in a dangerous new game with Gotham being the winning trophy or disaster. To the hallowed halls of Arkham Asylum where few dare tread upon the dark side of Gotham's most feared evils. But it turns out they may be what the city needs to save itself.

The Dream- In the bonus issue #0 it covers Bruce's journey, and another foundation of growth and loss. Being tested by what could drive him to be more than human, channelling pure energy from negative. With trust, heart, belief, and lies, it all becomes a test of faith into what it means to be himself.

Along with Two Face's journey, from the darkness of the streets to a journey of enlightenment. However noble the cause, there is always a reason for the dark to be hiding within.

Each issue in this book covers a different facet of hero or villain's perspective. Detective Comics really branches out in some unique directions that keep readers captivated till the last page.
