About this Collection
This hardcover collects J.H. Williams III's celebrated Batman work for DC, including his acclaimed run on Batman with writer Greg Rucka, where he co-created the character of Kate Kane (Batwoman) and employed his signature experimental layouts. The volume also features his contributions to Detective Comics and other Batman-related stories, showcasing his unique visual storytelling and dynamic art style across multiple arcs.
"Constant Whitewater" delivers a poignant, character-driven chapter in the Tales of the Batman anthology, spotlighting Victor Fries and his wife Nora as they face a personal crisis that tests their bond. J. H. Williams III and Dan Curtis Johnson craft a story grounded in emotional weight, exploring Jim Gordon’s growing doubts about Batman’s methods and Alfred’s quiet concern for the Dark Knight’s endurance—all rendered in stunning detail by Seth Fisher and Dave Stewart, with J. H. Williams III’s haunting cover capturing the issue’s somber tone.
