Batman's New Villain Failsafe Officially Revealed By DC Comics
Warning! Spoilers for Batman #125 by DC Comics
DC Comics has revealed Failsafe, a new Batman villain who is seemingly rising to stop the Dark Knight after he was framed for murder. In Batman #125, Failsafe, a robot described as Batman's Doomsday, is activated after the Penguin implicates the hero for his death. Unfortunately, it appears Failsafe is triggered under the belief Batman has become evil, which will undoubtedly cause problems for him going forward.
Chip Zdarksy and Jorge Jimenez's new run on Batman has begun, as the hero is protecting Gotham City without his considerable fortune. In the debut issue, The Dark Knight learns that the Penguin is killing off millionaires in response to how he was treated once joining the prestigious club himself. However, when Batman goes undercover at a gala and Penguin (Clayface in disguise) attacks, Robin is nearly killed after being shot, leading him directly to the supervillain. Once he finds the villain, the Penguin frames Batman for his own murder, subsequently causing the activation of a robot in the Batcave called Failsafe.
