Written by Alan Burnett and Paul Dini, with art by Ty Templeton, the volume features new adventures for the Dark Knight, including the introduction of characters like Deathstroke and an updated take on the villainous Red Claw. It collects issues #1-7 of the 2020 series, originally published as a DC Digital First title.
In "Hardware," the Ventriloquist and Scarface—once inseparable partners in crime—find themselves separated after a failed heist, each undergoing therapy at Arkham Asylum. Months later, Arnold Wesker seems transformed, seemingly cured, but as Harley Quinn prepares a lavish Christmas party for Gotham’s rogues, the Joker quietly plots to reignite the duo’s dark partnership. Written by Alan Burnett and Paul Dini, with art by Ty Templeton and inks by Sean Parsons, this story blends psychological tension with the eerie intimacy of a fractured mind, all rendered in Monica Kubina’s vivid colors and AndWorld Design’s sharp lettering. The cover by Dave Johnson captures the unsettling stillness of a man on the edge, just before the mask slips.
In "Hardware," Batman is drawn into a high-stakes clash between Lex Luthor and Superman, all while studying the empty skull of Brainiac—something Luthor is desperate to claim. Amid the chaos, a shadowy figure wanders Gotham’s streets, quietly pondering the Dark Knight’s presence.
In "Mentors Part 1," Batman faces off against Clayface alongside Robin and Batgirl, only to be unexpectedly aided by the enigmatic Deathstroke. After the fight, Deathstroke offers to train the young heroes in his ruthless tactics, drawing both curiosity and caution. As tensions simmer, he notices a shadowy figure watching Batman from the rooftops—just before the stranger vanishes into the night.
In "Mentors Part 2," Deathstroke's mission to eliminate Batman intensifies under Lex Luthor’s pressure, but his plans to recruit Robin and Batgirl into his new team hit a wall when the Dark Knight proves once again too formidable to outmaneuver.
In "The Darker Knight," Catwoman’s latest heist takes a dangerous turn when she steals the Shawl of Magdalene from the Order of St. Dumas, drawing the attention of Azrael, who’s sent to reclaim it. With Mr. Freeze now her mysterious client and unwilling to let go of the artifact, Gotham’s shadows grow darker as old alliances shift and new tensions rise.
In "Red Son Rising Pt. 1," Batman confronts a haunting echo of his past when a masked figure known as the Red Hood begins stalking his every move—revealing himself to be Jason Todd, the former Robin presumed dead. As tensions rise, Alfred shares the story of how Batman first met Jason and how the young hero's journey took a tragic turn, setting the stage for a reunion that’s as charged as it is uncertain.
In "Red Son Rising Pt. 2," Alfred shares the harrowing final moments of Jason Todd’s fight with the Joker, a tale that ended with Jason presumed dead. When a figure claiming to be Batman arrives at the Bat-Cave, Tim recognizes the impostor instantly—but Jason’s strength and resolve take him by surprise, forcing him to confront a past he thought was buried.
In "Secret Santa," the Ventriloquist and Scarface—once a fearsome duo—find themselves separated and undergoing therapy at Arkham, where Arnold Wesker seems to have found peace. As Harley Quinn throws a lavish Christmas party for Gotham’s rogues, the Joker quietly schemes to reconnect the two, hoping to reignite their criminal partnership before the holiday lights dim.
