Batman: Gotham Knights #9 – 2000 is a tense and tightly constructed entry in the ongoing Zeiss arc, showcasing the psychological and physical pressure building around Batman as he faces one of the most cunning and relentless foes introduced in Gotham’s modern age. Written by Devin Grayson, with dynamic artwork by Roger Robinson, this issue ratchets up the suspense while exploring the emotional toll Gotham’s war on crime exacts on everyone involved.

In this chapter, Batman continues his pursuit of Zeiss, a villain with near-photographic reflexes and a combat strategy that rivals Bruce’s own. Their encounters are brief but volatile, forcing Batman to rethink his usual tactics. Zeiss’s growing control over Gotham’s underworld is becoming more pronounced, and his ability to stay one step ahead keeps both Batman and the reader on edge.

But the issue isn’t all high-speed chases and violent showdowns. The narrative also delves into the strain this manhunt places on Bruce Wayne’s relationships, particularly with Lucius Fox and Alfred Pennyworth. The emotional beats add weight to the action, making the stakes feel personal and grounded. This balance of character and conflict is what sets the Gotham Knights run apart.

Also featured is the acclaimed Batman: Black & White backup story—a stylistic gem that delivers a self-contained narrative rendered in bold, monochromatic art. These stories are perfect for readers who enjoy short-form storytelling and artistic experimentation within the Batman mythos.

Roger Robinson’s pencils, paired with John Floyd’s inks, give the issue a gritty, shadow-laced atmosphere that complements the escalating tension. Whether in a boardroom, hospital corridor, or back alley, the mood is palpable and ever-Gothic.
