In the darkly intense epic BATMAN: THE CULT, Batman undergoes a barrage of mental assaults and physical attacks that threaten the life and sanity of the Dark Knight. When the charismatic Deacon Blackfire unites Gotham's homeless people into a crime fighting vigilante legion, Batman attempts to confront the disenfranchised army and stem their brutal wave of violence. But after being drugged, brainwashed, and tortured, the Dark Knight temporarily joins the vicious mob's cause before barely regaining his senses and resisting the preacher's influence. Now with his psyche shattered and his confidence destroyed, Batman must overcome his fear of the Deacon in order to save Gotham from Blackfire's true evil agenda.
