Acclaimed storyteller Grant Morrison and superstar artist Andy Kubert take on the Dark Knight in stories that redefined the Caped Crusader forever!
Eisner-Awardwinning writer and comics legend Grant Morrison, who redefined Animal Man and Doom Patrol, alongside legendary artist Andy Kubert, take Batman to the edge of madness, the grave, and beyond, in this . With the introduction of the fan-favorite Robin, Damian Wayne, Morrison and Kubert delivered fans an epic tale that has inspired fans and creators alike!
Stories collected in this volume include Batman and Son, the ground-breaking introduction of fan-favorite Robin, Damian Wayne! When the mysterious Talia, daughter of arch villain Ra's al Ghul and Batman's one-time love, returns with a boy named Damian and claims the child is Batman's, the Bat-mythos is changed for good!
Stunned, the Dark Knight takes the child in, but the boy, raised among the brutal dictates of the League of Assassins, has his own agenda. Is Damian really just a misguided boy trying to prove himself to his father—or have long years of Talia's indoctrination left him an operative solely designed to destroy Batman?
Under the masterly skills of Morrison and Kubert, BATMAN AND SON is one of the most intriguing Batman tales ever told.
These influential stories have been cited by James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, as a major inspiration for the upcoming film The Brave and the Bold!
This volume collects Batman #655-658 and #663-675; 52 #30, #47; Batman Unwrapped by Andy Kubert #1; and Batman Unwrapped: R.I.P. #1.
