Synopsis
Bane has put the villains in charge of Gotham, serving as the police under Commissioner Hugo Strange.

Meanwhile, Bruce is on a quest in a remote part of the world, while Lex Luthor makes Bane an offer.
Notes
Year of the Villain - The Offer tie-in.
Produced in cooperation with The Hero Initiative. Artists were commissioned to do pieces which would then be auctioned off to benefit the charity. Differs from the regular blank cover in that the title is in black with a gray bat, as well as the issue number and rating are moved to the left side in order to accommodate the Hero Initiative logo to the right. Exact print run is unknown. At least 110 commissioned pieces exist, and there are some copies that remained blank, known to have sold after the project was completed.
