Batman: Cataclysm

Cataclysm is an 18-chapter DC Comics crossover story arc that ran through the various Batman family comics from March to May 1998. The plot of the storyline centers on Gotham City being hit by a powerful earthquake, the epicenter of which is less than a mile from Wayne Manor. In the wake of the destruction, Batman and his allies join the frantic rescue efforts around the devastated city, which soon spirals into chaos. This story arc was a catalyst for the Batman comics and its spin-off titles, signaling the beginning of nearly two years of storylines that arose from the earthquake's aftermath, culminating in the year-long Batman: No Man's Land saga.
