It’s the biggest event to hit the Batman family of comics in years, told over the course of one long, dark night in Gotham that threatens to transform the entire city!

Gotham City’s new mayor, Pamela Isley, deserted by her allies both political and arcane, is about to make a last-ditch power play that will leave Gotham decimated by daylight. Having already declared war on the Bat-Family and flooded the streets with his private, paramilitarized police army, Police Commissioner Vandal Savage sees an opportunity to solve two problems at once.

Storylines converge in Batman: Bad Seeds, a Gotham City event spanning one long, dark night in Gotham—sunset to sunrise—that threatens to turn the entire city into a hostile world of prehistoric plant life unlike anything on Earth for millennia, at a time when its greatest heroes are hunted and in hiding.

As the sun goes down and Gotham loses power, writers Matt Fraction (Batman), G. Willow Wilson (Poison Ivy), and Tom Taylor (Detective Comics) are joined by artists including Giuseppe Camuncoli, Cliff Rathburn, Matteo Scalera, Marcio Takara, Jeff Spokes, and Alex Lins to deliver a Gotham epic that shows the only thing scarier than the night just might be the morning sun…

Collects Batman: Bad Seeds – Sunset #1, Batman #13-14, Poison Ivy #48-49, Detective Comics #1113-1114, and Batman: Bad Seeds – Sunrise #1, the pivotal chapters of the Bad Seeds story.

About

It’s the biggest event to hit the Batman family of comics in years, told over the course of one long, dark night in Gotham that threatens to transform the entire city!

Gotham City’s new mayor, Pamela Isley, deserted by her allies both political and arcane, is about to make a last-ditch power play that will leave Gotham decimated by daylight. Having already declared war on the Bat-Family and flooded the streets with his private, paramilitarized police army, Police Commissioner Vandal Savage sees an opportunity to solve two problems at once.

Storylines converge in Batman: Bad Seeds, a Gotham City event spanning one long, dark night in Gotham—sunset to sunrise—that threatens to turn the entire city into a hostile world of prehistoric plant life unlike anything on Earth for millennia, at a time when its greatest heroes are hunted and in hiding.

As the sun goes down and Gotham loses power, writers Matt Fraction (Batman), G. Willow Wilson (Poison Ivy), and Tom Taylor (Detective Comics) are joined by artists including Giuseppe Camuncoli, Cliff Rathburn, Matteo Scalera, Marcio Takara, Jeff Spokes, and Alex Lins to deliver a Gotham epic that shows the only thing scarier than the night just might be the morning sun…

Collects Batman: Bad Seeds – Sunset #1, Batman #13-14, Poison Ivy #48-49, Detective Comics #1113-1114, and Batman: Bad Seeds – Sunrise #1, the pivotal chapters of the Bad Seeds story.
