The weekly series begins Wednesday with the first of 52 issues aiming to change the geography and power structure of the Dark Knight's hometown, follow a whole city of folks dealing with an incident that rocks the town to its core, and present an epic story worthy of celebrating Batman's 75th anniversary.
The incident spreads throughout Gotham in the second issue, Eternal No. 3 puts into perspective just how big the scope of the project is, and issues 4-7 set up smaller plots branching out from the over-arching story. After that, the weekly series shifts into three-issue arcs by various creative teams.
"Each arc reflects the tastes and the real talent of each writer," Snyder says, "and yet at the same time it will feel really seamless and singular — like one bombastic game-changing story that rolls forward through these different neighborhoods of writing in an interesting way."
Fawkes is bringing back The Ten-Eyed Man among various other villains and characters that haven't been seen in Gotham in years, as well as the return of a woman that everybody on the team thought was a crazy idea.
