No Man's Land has ended, and Gotham City is whole once again. But the wounds of No Man's Land run deep, and an old foe of Batman's is set to take full advantage of Gotham's fragile state. BATMAN: EVOLUTION is a 224-page trade paperback reprinting the lead stories from DETECTIVE COMICS #743-750 - the first major story arc by writer Greg Rucka (DETECTIVE COMICS, Whiteout) and artists Shawn Martinbrough (CREEPER) and Steve Mitchell (DETECTIVE COMICS). EVOLUTION features additional art by John Watkiss, William Rosado, and Phil Hester, plus a brand new cover by Dave Johnson (100 BULLETS). Gotham City is split into two bitterly divided factions: OG's (original Gothamites) and the DeeZee's (No Man's Land deserters). But while Batman and Commissioner Gordon struggle to maintain order, a new force threatens to consume Gotham - and perhaps the world! One of the Batman's greatest enemies returns with new, demonic cohorts. His name: Ra's al Ghul! And only the Dark Knight stands between the Demon and his plans of conquest!
