THE SINS OF THE SON SHALL BE VISITED UPON THE FATHER! From the endlessly creative minds of comics legends Grant Morrison (52, All-Star Superman, We3, New X-Men) and Andy Kubert (Adam Strange, 1602, X-Men) comes a startling new chapter in the life of Gotham's Dark Knight. The mysterious Talia, daughter of the archvillain Ra's al Ghul and Batman's onetime love, returns with a boy named Damian and claims the child is Batman's son. 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. Soon both Tim Drake, Bruce Wayne's newly adopted heir, and Alfred, Wayne's faithful butler, find themselves targets of this genetically perfect and very angry child. Is Damian really just a young, 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 the Batman? Under the masterly skills of Morrison and Kubert, Batman & Son is one of the most intriguing Batman tales ever told. It also features the artwork of John VanFleet (Batman: The Chalice) in a unique story highlighting the Joker.

THE INMATES HAVE OVERTAKEN THE ASYLUM! In this legendary, fully painted graphic novel, the deranged occupants of Gotham's Arkham Asylum have taken over on April Fools' Day and demanded Batman in exchange for their prisoners. The Dark Knight descends into the heart of madness and is forced to live and endure the personal hells of The Joker, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Two-Face, and many more of his sworn enemies in order to save the innocents and retake the asylum. Written by comics powerhouse Grant Morrison (All-Star Superman) and stunningly illustrated by Dave McKean (Swamp Thing, Hellblazer), this dark and cerebral tale remains as captivating as ever. Collects the original graphic novel along with sketches, pinups, and more.

Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane is a place of dismal corridors and oppressive shadows—a dark riddle in stone and timber, best left unsolved. Within its claustrophobic walls, the demented and deformed enemies of the Batman brood in padded cells and unlit cellars, dreaming of a day when they might rise up and overthrow the world of reason. That day has finally come. It is April 1, and the lunatics have taken over the asylum. Led by The Joker, Arkham’s inmates issue a terrible ultimatum to the man responsible for their imprisonment. The Batman must descend into this heart of darkness, confront his greatest foes, and face the truth of his own divided identity—or condemn himself to share their fate. Written by legendary comics creator Grant Morrison and beautifully illustrated by artist Dave McKean, the timeless, genre-bending tale Batman: Arkham Asylum is brought back to its classic beauty in this deluxe hardcover edition, now with updated artwork lovingly restored by the artist himself!
