Future State: The Next Batman #2

In "The Next Batman Chapter 2," Cassandra Cain, a key figure in the Gotham Resistance, finds herself trapped in a Magistrate Detention Facility alongside both allies and enemies. With her mission hanging in the balance, she must reach out to Stephanie Brown—once a trusted ally, now a hardened adversary—forcing a tense and uncertain alliance. Written by Vita Ayala and illustrated by Aneke, with colors by Trish Mulvihill and letters by Becca Carey, this issue deepens the stakes of a fractured Gotham. The cover, by Ladrönn, captures the moment’s intensity with stark, dramatic lines.
