Batmans Brand New Villain is a Giant Millionaire Literally

This April, Batman’s newest opponent is a giant millionaire, both literally and figuratively. In Detective Comics #1035, Batman runs afoul of Mister Worth, a massive man with a massive fortune to match. The issue, written by Mariko Tamaki with art by Dan Mora, is scheduled to release April 27.

Batman and his allies have experienced a turbulent year. Bruce Wayne has lost most of his fortune, which severely limits his access to the resources needed to fund Batman. This has forced the Bat Family to rethink their whole perspective on fighting crime and protecting Gotham City. The Joker War upended Gotham as well and an old nemesis of Batman’s, the Ghostmaker, has resurfaced. Meanwhile, a new mayor is stoking the fires of anti-vigilante sentiment (which seems to have paid off in Future State) and that’s not making the Dark Knight’s job any easier. Now, on top of all of that, Batman is framed for murder and finds himself squarely in the crosshairs of a physical and financial powerhouse.

A crime wave has gripped the city and when millionaire Roland Worth’s daughter is killed as a result, he decides to go after Batman, who has been wrongly implicated in the crime. Described as an “eight feel-tall -stack of money and muscle,” Worth blames Batman for his daughter’s death, and now seeks revenge. The crime wave that took Worth’s daughter is seemingly connected to something much darker that is brewing in Gotham. Check out the cover art and solicit details below:

Fans have speculated for years that Batman’s best villains are the ones who are equal to him in some way. For example, the Riddler matches Batman in intellect, Scarecrow matches him in his ability to instill fear, and so on. Yet Worth is an interesting villain in that he matches Bruce Wayne more than Batman. Both men are equal in terms of money and while Bruce is a formidable person physically, he does not match Worth’s eight feet of muscle. Indeed, Worth’s physical stature might make him one of Batman’s most dangerous opponents to date.

DC is shaking up its universe, and sending old characters in new and unexpected directions, and the Batman corner of the universe is seeing some of the biggest changes. Recent developments in Gotham and in Bruce’s life have led to an overhaul in how Batman runs his war on crime. Between the current crime wave and whatever is building on the horizon, it seems as if the deck is stacked against the Bat-family. And now into the mix comes Roland Worth, ready to seek revenge on Batman.
