Sebevražedný oddíl Amandy Wallerové má pod vedením Jasona Todda, alias Red Hooda, jasný úkol – zastavit příval mrtvol, které vrší korunní šašek zločinu, ulovit největšího Batmanova nepřítele a poslat Jokera nadobro pod drn. Někdejší zázračný chlapec s misí souhlasí. Nemá jinou volbu. Ale zároveň se touží pomstít zrůdě, která ho zabila. Když Joker změní pravidla hry, pro Red Hooda, jenž má po boku partu těch nejhorších padouchů na světě – včetně Harley Quinn, Fireflye a Wild Doga – je zatraceně těžké se rozhodnout, komu může věřit. Je načase zjistit, kdo skutečně tahá za nitky Operační skupiny X.

Batman: White Knight follows the man now known as Jack Napier as he embarks on a quest to heal the city he once terrorized. After reconciling with his long-suffering partner, Harley Quinn, he sets in motion a carefully plotted campaign to discredit the one person whom he views as Gotham City's true enemy: Batman. His crusade exposes a decades-long history of corruption within the Gotham City Police Department and transforms Napier into a city councilman and civic hero. But when the sins of his past return to threaten everything that he has accomplished, the distinctions between savior and destroyer begin to break down for both The Joker and Batman alike--and with them any hope for Gotham's future
Australia and its formation - through the distorted view of a rum bottle.Could the Rum Rebellion have been averted if Major Johnston wasn't hungover?Would the Eureka Stockade have been different if the rebels weren't pissed?How were prisoners to get drunk if Macquarie closed the only pub in the goal?And why should sailors under fourteen be deprived of their sixteen shots of rum per day?These are just some of the questions raised in Matt Murphy's account of Australia's colonial history. Brimming with detailed research and irreverent character sketches, Rum looks at not just how much was drunk in colonial Australia (a lot!), but also the lengths people went to get their hands on it, the futile efforts of the early governors to control it, and the often disastrous and/or absurd consequences of its consumption.Those consequences aren't just in our past. Murphy goes beyond foundation stories to look at the legacy our love affair with alcohol has created, from binge drinking to lockout laws and from prohibition to urinating on the parliamentary carpet.So here's to Rum, for making bad decisions look like a good idea at the time.
