THE START OF THE STORY THAT CHANGED BATMAN FOREVER! Ten years after the last reported sighting of the Batman, a retired Bruce Wayne spends his nights fighting only to honor his vow to stay retired. Amidst the rising threat of a new breed of gang violence, old enemies from the past--and an inner demon that will not stay caged--ensure the Dark Knight’s return in this masterpiece of comics storytelling.
