Batman has faced monsters, assassins, gods and now he must face something far more frightening: fatherhood. Grant Morrison (Batman) delivers a sharp, intimate reimagining of legacy and identity within the Bat-Family, now in DC's popular Compact Comics format. 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. Collects Batman #655 658 and #663 666.
