About this Collection

This deluxe hardcover collects the complete 12-issue Batman: Gotham After Midnight miniseries from 2009, written by Steve Niles with art by Kelley Jones. The story follows Batman as he investigates a series of bizarre, nocturnal crimes in Gotham City, facing a mysterious new villain who seems to have a personal connection to the Dark Knight. This edition includes the full main storyline along with supplemental material such as sketches and variant covers.

In the chilling first issue of Batman: Gotham After Midnight, Steve Niles and Kelley Jones deliver a dark, atmospheric tale where Batman confronts the Scarecrow in a twisted game of fear—just as the Axeman’s trail resurfaces. With Kelley Jones’ haunting artwork and Michelle Madsen’s moody colors, the city itself feels like a character in this gripping mystery. The cover by Kelley Jones captures the dread perfectly—be there from the start.
