The event will take place in the New 52, and will focus on Batman returning to Gotham City after most of his enemies break out of Arkham Asylum and wage a war across the entire city of Gotham. Heroes such as Nightwing, Batgirl, Catwoman, Batwing, and Batwoman will be involved, including crossovers from Red Robin and the Teen Titans, Red Hood and the Outlaws, and many more. 
Originally, the series was supposed to only be written by Scott Snyder, Grant Morrison, and Jeff Lemire, but was announced that Geoff Johns would replace Lemire, and Peter Tomasi working on several tie-ins. Also, the artwork was supposed to be worked on by Greg Capullo, Rafael Albuquerque, David Finch, and Eddy Barrows, but instead Barrows was replaced by Reis, with Jim Lee, Doug Mahnke, Tony Daniel, and Joe Prado working on most of the tie-ins.
The story is described as "Heroes Die, Villains Rise. Secrets Revealed, Relationships Killed. Friends Betrayed, Others Maimed. Loved Ones Missing, Enemies Kissing.", saying that the events of War Of Gotham will change the Batman Universe forever.  
==Main Summary:==
The story begins with Ra's al Ghul, who is now setting to destroy Gotham, places explosives on Arkham Asylum and breaks out nearly every criminal held there, including The Joker, Bane, Mister Freeze, and Two-Face. And with Batman out of Gotham for several months now, the villains begin taking over the city. Unfortunately, they capture one of Batman's supporters and is killed. Batman's attention is caught, and he returns immediately. He manages to take down Mister Freeze and Two-Face, until the League Of Assassins, along with Deathstroke, Deadshot, among others, manage to beat Batman and throw him out of Gotham. Batman then must retrain in a journey of redemption, downfall, and ultimate returns.
