What else do we know about the new Batman DC event?

In “Bad Seeds,” Gotham City is on the brink of chaos. Police Commissioner Vandal Savage has launched an all-out attack on Batman and his allies, deploying a heavily armed private army. Meanwhile, Gotham’s mayor, Pamela Isley, abandoned by her supporters, is making a desperate gamble for control that could destroy the city. Over the course of one long, dark night, Gotham faces being overrun by dangerous, ancient plant life, all while its heroes are forced to operate in secret and evade capture.
