About this Collection

This collection presents the first story arc of the 2010 Batman: Long Shadows series, which follows the immediate aftermath of Batman: R.I.P. and the 'Battle for the Cowl' storyline. Written by Judd Winick with art by Mark Bagley, the volume depicts a Gotham City in transition as Dick Grayson takes on the mantle of the Dark Knight, facing new threats while dealing with the legacy of Bruce Wayne's apparent death.

In "A Battle Within," Dick Grayson faces a pivotal moment as he grapples with the weight of becoming Batman and taking responsibility for Damian. With his decision to relocate his operations from the Batcave to the Wayne Foundation building, the stakes feel both personal and monumental. Written by Judd Winick and illustrated by Ed Benes, with inks by Rob Hunter and colors by Ian Hannin and JD Smith, the issue captures the emotional gravity of legacy and leadership. The cover, by J. G. Jones, reflects the intensity of this turning point.
