Where would the Dark Knight be if not for the monsters that prey on the very essence of innocent life? His defeats of villains like the Riddler have only helped grow his legend. But what if that's been part of Edward Nigma's plan all along? And for all of Batman's victories, could a new villain obsessed with Edgar Allan Poe be the one to finally bury him?
