Once again, Kevin Smith - the fan-favorite creator behind GREEN ARROW and Daredevil - teams up with Walter Flanagan - the artist on the acclaimed series BATMAN: CACOPHONY - for an all-new adventure starring The Caped Crusader. The stakes are high as Batman encounters a new vigilante under his wing amidst what Smith describes as a "backdrop of romance, intrigue, and geek-bait guest stars galore." Trust us when we say that it's as awesome as it sounds. BATMAN: WIDENING GYRE is just the start of things for Kevin in the Bat-Universe so get on board now!

Kevin Smith gets some inspiration from William Butler Yeats in his new Batman series which includes the following:
Nightwing and Batman teaming up to take down nuclear-powered Neo-Nazis, a ride in the Batboat, creepy cameos by Two-Face and the Joker, Batman taking on Killer Croc with an ax, sexy Poison Ivy pheromone bombs, a battle with a trash-talking Etrigan, a mysterious masked savior, and a scene in which Batman gets stoned. Seriously. This first issue alone blows away all of what Smith did in "Cacophony", check it out.
