About this Collection

This volume collects Ed Brubaker's run on Batman, featuring the conclusion of his story arcs with artist Scott McDaniel. It includes issues #586-590 and #592-595, along with a story from Batman: Gotham Knights #10, as Batman faces off against villains like the Joker and explores the aftermath of the earthquake that devastated Gotham.

In "Santa Klaus Is Coming to Town!", Ed Brubaker and Scott McDaniel deliver a haunting, character-driven dive into Batman’s psyche as he tracks down Joker’s former allies through Gotham’s East End. The story quietly grapples with identity and legacy, asking whether the man beneath the cowl is still Bruce Wayne—son of Thomas and Martha—amid the shadows he’s spent a lifetime chasing. With McDaniel’s evocative art and a moody, atmospheric palette, this issue lingers in the quiet moments between action, grounding the Dark Knight in the emotional core of who he’s always been.

In "Reasons," Batman tracks down Joker’s former allies through the rain-slicked streets of the East End, where the weight of his past begins to press on his present. As the line between Bruce Wayne and the Batman blurs, he confronts a quiet truth: even in darkness, he remains the son of Thomas and Martha Wayne.
