Batwing #9 – 2012 drops the hero of Africa straight into the heart of Gotham’s chaos, as the Night of the Owls crossover sweeps through the Bat-family titles. Written by Judd Winick with artwork by Marcus To, this action-packed issue expands the Court of Owls storyline, pulling David Zavimbe, aka Batwing, into a high-stakes confrontation with one of the Court’s most fearsome Talons.

As the city of Gotham erupts in violence, Batwing is deployed to protect one of the Court’s intended targets—Lucius Fox. The issue highlights David’s adaptability and courage as he transitions from fighting warlords in Africa to facing a deeply rooted, centuries-old secret society within Gotham’s very walls. Though he's a newer addition to the Bat-family, his impact here is immediate and hard-hitting.

Batwing #9 stands out not only for its crisp storytelling and compelling integration into a wider event but also for the way it builds on David Zavimbe’s internal conflict. As someone who already wrestles with justice, redemption, and legacy, being thrust into Gotham’s shadowy underbelly tests both his morals and his endurance. The result is a tightly plotted issue that shows his growth and resilience—qualities that make Batwing one of DC’s most underrated but compelling modern heroes.

The artwork by Marcus To offers dynamic action sequences and emotionally charged character work, seamlessly balancing the high-intensity fight scenes with quieter moments of introspection. This issue is also a must-have for collectors of the Night of the Owls crossover, as it enriches the overarching narrative with an international perspective rarely explored in Gotham-centric stories.
