About this Collection

This 2025 edition collects the three interconnected story arcs from the early 1990s that introduced and developed the demonic entity known as the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh, later revealed to be a backup personality implanted in Bruce Wayne's mind. The trilogy includes the tales 'The Demon,' 'The Demon Lives Again,' and 'The Demon Strikes,' originally published in Batman #635-641, 645-650, and 652-654, with contributions from writers Grant Morrison and artists including Andy Kubert and J.H. Williams III. This volume presents the complete saga in a single, updated format for new and returning readers.

In "Batman: Son of the Demon," a 2020 DC release, Batman confronts Ra's al Ghul at a newly created Lazarus Pit, uncovering a hidden document that reveals the origins of Ra's's power and transformation. As the two battle at the pit's edge, they fall into its depths—when Batman emerges, Ra's is nowhere to be found. Written by Dennis O'Neil and illustrated in full by Norm Breyfogle, the issue blends mystery and myth with a haunting, atmospheric tone, all rendered in Breyfogle’s signature style, with the cover also by Breyfogle.
