"Originally published in single magazine form in BATMAN: DARK VICTORY 0-13 and ABSOLUTE BATMAN: DARK VICTORY"--Title page verso. Chiefly illustrations.
"From the highly acclaimed and Eisner Award-winning team of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale (SUPERMAN: FOR ALL SEASONS, BATMAN: THE LONG HALLOWEEN), BATMAN NOIR: DARK VICTORY is a stunning Batman murder mystery story presented in gritty black-and-white to highlight artist Sale's beautiful illustrations. Set in the early days of the Dark Knight's career, Batman must stop the elusive cop-killer "Hangman" before the murderer strikes again. A children's game pinned to each of the victims is the only clue to the Hangman's identity. A rogues gallery of villains are prime suspects--Two-Face, the Joker, the Riddler, Catwoman. Even the police force, led by newly appointed Commissioner Jim Gordon, cannot be trusted. In order to solve this crime, Batman must look to a most unexpected place: An orphaned boy who will change his life forever. They will be known as Batman and Robin, and this is their story."-- Provided by publisher.
