Issue Breakdown

• Story Arc: "The Wedding"
• Creative Team: Written by Tom King, with main sequential art by Mikel Janín. Because it was a historic milestone, the book features an all-star lineup of guest pin-up and flashback artists, including Jim Lee, David Finch, Joëlle Jones, Frank Miller, Tim Sale, Neal Adams, and Clay Mann.
• Plot Overview: Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle prepare to elope on a quiet Gotham rooftop at dawn, moving away from a massive spectacle to avoid their heroic and villainous peers. The framing device consists of love letters the two wrote to each other. However, manipulated by her friend Holly Robinson, Selina ultimately concludes that a happy Bruce Wayne cannot remain the tortured, driven Batman the world needs. She leaves Bruce waiting at the altar. The final twist page reveals that the entire heartbreak was orchestrated behind the scenes by Bane to break the Dark Knight mentally.
