4.0

His is one of those events that, like Knightfall, every committed Batman fan should read because it's referred to so often. Gotham City is devastated by a horrific earthquake, unleashing chaos upon all, causing thousands of deaths, and threatening to expose Bruce Wayne's secret identity to the world.
It's well done for the most part, thoroughly exploring the widespread effect such a catastrophe would have on a city, and the nearly insurmountable challenge it brings to each of Gotham's heroes, be they masked or uniformed. It brings out the best and worst in people, and it leads to another event: No Man's Land.
