Batman: Year Two - The 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition #[nn]

In "null," Batman confronts a ghost from Gotham’s past when the Reaper resurfaces just as Bruce Wayne begins a relationship with Rachel Caspian. As the vigilante’s brutal return shakes the city, Batman is forced to confront his own darkest memories—using the very gun that killed his parents to track down a killer whose identity is tied to Rachel in ways neither of them yet understand.

In "null," Batman’s pursuit of the Reaper takes a dark turn as he allies with a shadowy cabal of mob bosses, forcing him to work alongside their enforcer, Joe Chill. As Bruce and Rachel’s bond deepens, the line between justice and vengeance blurs in a story that tests the limits of the Dark Knight’s resolve.

In "null," Batman confronts the lingering shadow of his past when he and Joe Chill, the man who pulled the trigger on his parents, set a trap for the elusive Reaper. With the weight of that gun in his hands and the past clawing at his resolve, Batman pushes forward—knowing the line between justice and vengeance is thinner than ever.

In "null," Bruce Wayne’s proposal to Rachel is interrupted when the Reaper strikes during a mob summit, forcing Batman into a brutal, personal confrontation. As the night unfolds, the line between justice and vengeance blurs when Batman tracks down Joe Chill—his father’s killer—only to see him murdered by the Reaper in a final, shocking twist.

In "null," Joe Chill’s son Joseph takes up the Reaper mantle, forcing Rachel Caspian to return to Gotham when she fears her father’s return. When Rachel encounters the Reaper near the Wayne Foundation, Batman intervenes—but Joseph escapes with the gun that killed Thomas and Martha Wayne. With his sister Marcia, Joseph abducts Rachel, setting a trap that uses a haunting re-enactment of Batman’s past and a psychoactive drug to break him. As the psychological assault escalates, an unexpected betrayal and Robin’s aid shift the tide in a battle not just of strength, but of memory and will.
