The Caped Crusader and the murderous Anatoli Knyazev, aka KGBeast, finally come face-to-face for the showdown of a lifetime in our preview of this week's Batman #57.
Writer Tom King and artist Tony S. Daniel conclude their "Beasts of Burden" story arc with a bang, and for the Dark Knight, that means vengeance for Nightwing could be just out of his reach. Then again, this is Batman, so who's to say a few bullets from a Russian madman are enough to take him down?

- The KGBeast isn’t working alone. As the Cold War between Batman and the Russian killer heats up, Batman’s nose for mystery gets to twitching when he suspects there’s more to the KGBeast’s attacks than initially thought. Not only does this tie back to the court case Bruce Wayne sat on involving Mr. Freeze, there’s another villainous Gotham ghoul in play—but whom?
