"It's "Batman R.I.P." part 5 - and this issue features two events so monumental that one comic can barely contain them! First, Batman faces off against The Club of Villains. Then, The Joker makes his stand, challenging the Dark Knight to the ultimate battle of wits. Will Batman survive either of these threats - or could this be the end of Gotham City's greatest hero?"
