About this Collection

This 2011 hardcover collects a series of interconnected stories exploring Batman's history across different eras, from his early days to the present. Written by Grant Morrison with art by various artists, it ties together threads from Morrison's broader Batman run, including the return of a classic villain and the legacy of the Bat-family. The volume also includes the 'Batman: The Return' one-shot and a story from Batman #700.

In "Time and the Batman," Batman and Robin face off against a new criminal threat—the Getaway Genius—while Vicki Vale presses her investigation into Bruce Wayne’s secret identity. Tim’s sudden injury only deepens the mystery, as he tries to mislead Vicki, but the truth may be harder to hide than ever. Written by Fabian Nicieza and illustrated by Cliff Richards, with colors by Ian Hannin and letters by Jared K. Fletcher, this 2011 issue features a cover by David Finch and Scott Williams.
