Detective Comics: Futures End #1 (HERE BE SPOILERS!)

Here, let me save you $3.99:

Calendar Man takes control of Arkham Asylum (now Island) and threatens to pull the plug on Gotham's electricity grid if the man responsible for ruining his family isn't given to him.  (I don't know why you'd allow insane criminals easy access to the grid, particularly given previous events, but it's Gotham after all.)  We're supposed to believe that the person responsible is Batman for giving away his son, but it's actually the Riddler since his wife died as a result of "Zero Year."  Batman apparently knows that from the start and manipulates Riddler into accompanying him onto the Island to deliver him to Calendar Man.  Yup, you read that correctly.  Batman basically sets up Riddler's murder to save Gotham.

Maybe you'll like the cover?

** (two of five stars)
