Bad Seed's Gotham General shows off different kind of DC Heroes

Gotham General is coming to the DC Comics Universe and showing off heroes without capes and cowls.

DC Comics is shining a light on the secret heroes of Gotham City in the upcoming Bad Seeds event, as Batman: Bad Seeds – Gotham General #1 by Greg Pak and Rosa Ekedal will focus on Dr. Ava Datsur and the staff at a very busy hospital. Find out what happens on a human level in a city consistently struck with danger and new threats. 

Batman: Bad Seeds – Gotham General #1 features main cover art by Rosa Ekedal, with variants coming from Javier Fernandez, Mitch Gerads, and Dustin Nguyen. Check out the main cover art and text solicit below.

Welcome to General, Gotham City's tier one trauma center.

Power is out, fires are burning, transpo is shot, and the calls just keep coming. There are more patients than beds, half presenting with respiratory complications, the other half suffering hallucinogenic psychotic episodes. In every other emergency department in the DCU, this would be a catastrophe.

For Dr. Ava Dastur and the men and women working at General, it's a Tuesday.

DC Comics is pleased to introduce you to the staff of Gotham General. No capes, no costumes, and don't call them heroes— this is their job.

Batman: Bad Seeds – Gotham General #1 arrives at CaptCan Comics on September 9th, 2026. Pre-order the issue now to ensure you don't miss out.
