Tony S. Daniel – författare

Grant Morrison s plunges the Dark Knight into his wildest adventure yet. Batman has proven he can win no matter the odds, but what happens when his opponent is death itself?

This edition also includes the milestone 700th issue of Batman, featuring stories spotlighting each of the Batmen from different eras, with art from Andy Kubert, Tony Daniel and Frank Quitely. Collects Batman #700-702, Batman and Robin #1-16 and Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne #1-6.
