The blistering creative team of writer Jeph Loeb (Batman: The Long Halloween) and artist Jim Lee (Superman, StormWatch) sets the tone for one of the most memorable - and best-selling - Batman epics in years. Batman's got a new nemesis, and he's organising the usual villains - like Poison Ivy, Killer Croc and the Joker - into a deadly series of attacks on the Dark Knight! It's all part of a nerve-shredding battle of wits which ends in a night at the opera - and like all great operas, this climax promises tragedy, bloodshed and vengeance! This oversized, slipcased, hardcover edition contains Jeph Loeb's complete scripts and is the best possible showcase for Jim Lee's amazing artwork!
