It does look like they'll fit in a single picture; the second issue looks to have Riddler in the top left section but I'll have to wait to see the third cover to be sure.

hey...what the hell ever happened to HUSH? It's a really long story: In the last story of the Gotham Knights title, Joker was killing people with pace makers, where there was a pattern in their names with HA HA. Joker then put a pace maker in Hush, and when Hush went after him, Joker made him in pain saying he could kill him at any moment. So Hush seeked help from his once dear friend Bruce to help him. He said he would help if Hush put himself in Arkham. Hush did go to Arkham and had the pace maker taken out. After that, he broke out to go looking for Joker, but was met by Batman. Hush then gave a speech to try to convince him to let him go kill Joker for all the people he's killed. Batman then asks him how he got out of Arkham so easily, and how he didn't seem different after the surgery. Hush then realized that the pace maker was still in him, and that's when Joker showed up. Batman was getting ready to leave Joker with Hush, who was begging him not to leave him there. And that's how it ended. So we don't really know what happened to Hush. |

i have that issue. but that's it? dc needs to get their act together. bringing back the character of hush too soon into a not-so-deserving story and not explaining the interim between HUSH and then, and then bringing back jason todd ithout any explination, and when they finally d give us an explanation, it's bull.

The bottom of the second one looks like Penguin's hat, to me. I tried arranging them but had problems with the first issue, so I'll just wait for more pieces. And is the story 8 or 9 issues? Here I see 8; at DC they had 2 but now say 9. I don't know who's right (well, the 2 is obviously wrong  . |

October will mark the beginning of Gotham Underground from DC, a (now) nine issue miniseries that tracks the latest development of Countdown in Gotham City – that is, villains are disappearing, and leaving holes in the criminal underground. Nature may abhor a vacuum, but for Batman, the feeling is stronger, because he knows that new faces and power players are bound to make a grab at being on top of the stack.
Frank Tieri supplies the words, and Jim Califiore the pencils for the good old fashioned Gotham street fight. We spoke with the writer for more. forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=130556

No, I think there's another cover yet to be seen connecting them. |

Hey everyone! From the CN 1059 (Comic Shop Newsarama) that I received today at my comic store, there's an add with all 9 issue covers organized on it. Batman is the center piece with the others (so far) going clockwise around him. A picture is below:  Hope that helps everyone arrange the pictures so far and the ones still to come! |

I prefer it with just the villains, and in color. That would make an awesome wallpaper!

It would look great in color, but we'll just have to put it together when the covers come out; I just posted the picture to give everyone an idea of what to expect coming. I don't mind the heroes; Batman has to be on it, at least.

Who's the character underneath Catwoman to Batman's left? He looks like a cross between Egghead and the Kingpin

Thanks for the clearer picture; I just posted the other one to give everyone an idea of what to expect on the (assumed) others, and this does an even better job. I don't know who that villain is either, Professor Crane; sorry  |

I don't know who that villain is either, Professor Crane; sorry No big deal. I just wanted to let allstar know I thought the previous pics he posted of the covers together and in color were even nicer, IMO |
