Batman

From the award-winning team behind 100 BULLETS--Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso--this deluxe edition hardcover includes tales from a variety of Batman projects. The centerpiece of the book, a six-issue run of BATMAN called "Broken City," presents a profound examination of the Dark Knight Detective and the grim metropolis that he protects. While hunting the murderer of a small boy's parents, Batman is caught up in his own investigation and ruminations, only to fall prey to a deadly new pair of killers who have been stalking him.

Collects BATMAN #620-625, FLASHPOINT: BATMAN - KNIGHT OF VENGEANCE #1-3 and stories from WEDNESDAY COMICS #1-12 and BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHTS #8.
