📘 Series Summary

In the wake of Future State, the mantle of the Bat finds a new home with Jace Fox, the estranged son of Lucius Fox. Written by Academy Award winner John Ridley, I Am Batman follows Jace’s journey as he discovers a hidden Hibernaculum containing advanced Bat-technology. Initially operating in the shadows of a Gotham City gripped by the "Fear State" and the oppressive Magistrate program, Jace quickly realizes that to truly forge his own legacy, he must step out from the original Dark Knight's shadow.

Starting with issue #6, the series takes a bold turn as Jace relocates his mission to New York City, becoming the Big Apple's primary protector. This move shifts the series into a gritty police procedural and social drama, as Jace navigates a complex relationship with the NYPD and his own family. Alongside his sister Tiffany Fox, Jace battles new threats like the serial killer Manray and a domestic terror group known as the Moral Authority. It is a groundbreaking series that explores identity, systemic justice, and what it means to be a hero in a city that isn't Gotham.
