Scott Snyder, Jock, and Francesco Francavilla’s epic that reshaped Batman, in prestige Absolute format!

For years, Batman and Commissioner Gordon have stared into the unyielding, black abyss that is Gotham City. But even after a lifetime of quelling the worst of humanity, an even darker and more dangerous evil pushes the two crime-fighters to their absolute limits. As the city’s top cop, James Gordon has seen it all. But can he unravel a deep and personal mystery that is inextricably tied to Gotham City’s underworld? Or will the darkness that turns Gotham’s citizens into monsters blind him forever? 

Eisner Award-winning writer Scott Snyder (Batman: The Court of Owls) launches into comics superstardom with his #1 New York Times best-selling debut work on the Dark Knight. With stunning art by Jock (The Losers) and Francesco Francavilla (Swamp Thing), this Absolute Edition collects Detective Comics #871-881 and includes additional bonus material featuring sketches, designs, and a first-draft script from the author.
