Kevin Smith's Green Hornet, Vol. 1 by Kevin Smith

Batman and Etrigan do battle, but Batman is on the losing end. Upon investigation, Batman finds that Poison Ivy is currently in a dispute with Etrigan the Demon, and she has been turning Arkham Asylum into a fortress to protect herself. Plot įollowing a tip from Nightwing, Batman discovers Arkham Asylum is completely overgrown with plant life. Ultimately, after further delays on Book 2, Smith decided to turn the second half of Batman: The Widening Gyre into a separately titled miniseries called Batman: Bellicosity. Book 1 was plagued by several hiatuses and ran to July 2010 and Book 2 was pushed to late 2013. Book 1 was supposed to run from August 2009 to January 2010 and, after a six-month hiatus, Book 2 from July through December 2010. As Smith explained it, the series was to have 12 issues split into two six-issue books. They both had completed Batman: Cacophony.

Publication history īatman: The Widening Gyre was written by Kevin Smith and illustrated by Walt Flanagan. It was decided in the interim to release the remaining issues as a separate series to be called Batman: Bellicosity, that was due in 2014, but to date, remains unreleased. After issue #6 was published, Smith and Flanagan's work on their reality show, Comic Book Men, extended this planned break further than expected. The series was initially planned as 12 issues, with a long break planned between issues #6 and 7. The title is a reference to the William Butler Yeats poem ' The Second Coming'. The series is written by Kevin Smith and illustrated by Walt Flanagan.

Batman: The Widening Gyre is the title of a six-issue comic book limited series starring Batman, released August 2009 through July 2010.
