Lasting four issues and detailing the exploits of the Gotham City police department, it precedes the better known Gotham Central by several years.

Synopsis

It focused on many intertwining subplots, from the minor case of stolen office equipment to Detective Harvey Bullock investigating a serial killer. The murderer tends to leave teddy bears dressed up like his victims; at one point a teddy bear wearing Bullock's trademark beige trenchcoat appears.
