After a series of brutal murders rocks Gotham City, Batman begins to 
realize that perhaps these crimes go far deeper than appearances suggest. As the 
Caped Crusader begins to unravel this deadly mystery, he discovers a conspiracy 
going back to his youth and beyond to the origins of the city he's sworn to 
protect. Could the Court of Owls, once thought to be nothing more than an urban 
legend, be behind the crime and corruption? Or is Bruce Wayne losing his grip on 
sanity and falling prey to the pressures of his war on crime? Scott Snyder and 
Greg Capullo's genre-defining, #1 New York Times bestselling story is now 
available in this oversized Absolute Edition. Collects issues #1-11 of BATMAN, 
as well as bonus material!
