About the series
In this nine-issue DC miniseries from 2003-2004, writer Greg Rucka and artist Klaus Janson take Batman on a deeply personal journey that forces him to confront the specter of mortality—both his own and those he has lost. The story weaves together the Dark Knight's present-day investigation with a haunting exploration of his past, as he encounters a mysterious woman who claims to have known his parents. A contemplative, character-driven thriller that matters for its unflinching look at grief and legacy within the Batman mythos.
