Batman stories from a defining 1980s period

Continuing the post-Crisis Batman material collected in Year One and Two, this volume brings together several strands of the Dark Knight’s 1980s adventures. Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s The Killing Joke is paired with Batman: Son of the Demon, which centers on Batman’s relationship with Talia al Ghul, alongside stories including “Ten Nights of the Beast.” The collection spans issues of Batman and Detective Comics as well as the separately numbered stories, giving it a broad snapshot of Batman comics from the period.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers collecting the DC Finest Batman volumes in sequence

Book overview

Following directly after DC Finest: Batman: Year One and Two, the 1980s adventures of the Dark Knight continue, including the seminal The Killing Joke!

DC Finest presents comprehensive collections of the most in-demand and celebrated periods in DC Comics history, spanning genres, characters, and eras!

DC Finest: Batman: Year One and Two, one of the first DC Finest volumes, collected the initial years of the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths exploits of the Dark Knight. DC Finest: Batman: The Killing Joke and Other Stories picks up right where that volume left off, including the titular Batman: The Killing Joke by writer Alan Moore and artist Brian Bolland--one of the most influential Batman stories of all time, and a defining moment in the lives of both The Joker and Barbara Gordon.

This volume also includes Batman: Son of the Demon by Mike W. Barr and Jerry Bingham, which detailed the relationship between Batman and Talia al Ghul and directly inspired Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert's "Batman and Son," the story that introduced Damian Wayne. Plus, more major Bat-stories including "Ten Nights of the Beast" by Jim Starlin and Jim Aparo!

Collects Batman: The Killing Joke #1; Batman #413-422; Detective Comics #580-589; and Batman: Son of the Demon #1.
