About this Collection

This volume collects the final chapters of the 'Joker War' storyline from Detective Comics, focusing on Batman's confrontation with the Joker's devastating assault on Gotham City. The story delves into the aftermath of the Joker's attack on Wayne Manor and the psychological toll it takes on the Dark Knight, as he fights to reclaim his legacy and protect his allies. Written by Peter J. Tomasi with art by Brad Walker and others, this arc ties directly into the larger 'Joker War' event across the Batman titles.

In "Pennyworth R.I.P.", the fractured mind of Harvey Dent reaches a breaking point as Two-Face and his former self wage an internal war for dominance. With Two-Face commanding a loyal following driven by the flip of a coin, the desperate Harvey Dent turns to Batman for help—seeking to reclaim his identity before it’s lost for good. Written by Peter J. Tomasi and brought to life by Brad Walker’s striking art, this gripping issue dives deep into the psyche of one of Gotham’s most tragic figures. The cover, by Brad Walker and Andrew Hennessy, captures the tension with a haunting, split-image portrait of Dent’s duality.
