About this Collection

This collection gathers the final storylines from the 2006-2008 Batman series, written by Paul Dini with art by Dustin Nguyen and others. It features a series of standalone tales that spotlight Batman's rogues gallery, including the Joker, Penguin, Riddler, and the Ventriloquist, as well as a key arc involving Hush (Thomas Elliot) and the return of Zatanna. The volume also includes the introduction of the villain Vox and deepens the character work for supporting players like Alfred, Commissioner Gordon, and Robin (Tim Drake).

In "Double Talk," Batman calls on Zatanna to investigate the suspicious death of her former assistant, a young magician whose final performance ended in tragedy. With the truth hidden behind illusions and deception, the Dark Knight and the Maid of Magic must untangle a web of secrets that may reach far beyond the stage. Written by Paul Dini and illustrated by Don Kramer, with inks by Wayne Faucher, colors by John Kalisz, and letters by Travis Lanham, the issue features a striking cover by Simone Bianchi.
