Gotham Gazette - Batman Alive? #1 (Batttle for the Cowl One-Shot)

Gotham Gazette - Batman Alive? is a one-shot comic book that may foreshadow the return of Batman to Gotham, just as the earlier Gotham Gazette - Batman Dead? served to introduce the Battle for the Cowl storyline of DC Comics. As to whether or not it actually does and so serves to be the prologue to the conclusion of said storyline remains to be seen.

Morning comes to Gotham City and the time for mourning has passed. How do the people of Gotham City deal with the sudden arrival of hope? Find out in this new one-shot! -- DC Comics
