The mysterious Talia, daughter of the archvillain Ra’s al Ghul and Batman’s onetime love, returns with a boy named Damian and claims the child is Batman’s son. Stunned, the Dark Knight takes the child in, but the boy, raised among the brutal dictates of the League of Assassins, has his own agenda. Soon both Tim Drake, Bruce Wayne’s newly adopted heir, and Alfred, Wayne’s faithful butler, find themselves targets of this genetically perfect and very angry child. Is Damian really just a young, misguided boy trying to prove himself to his father—or have long years of Talia’s indoctrination left him an operative solely designed to destroy the Batman?

It also features the artwork of John VanFleet (BATMAN: THE CHALICE) in a unique story highlighting the Joker. Collects BATMAN #655-658 and #663-666 |
