RELIVE JEPH LOEB AND TIM SALE'S EPIC STORY IN ABSOLUTE FORMAT! In the early days of the Dark Knight's career, Batman must stop the elusive cop killer Hangman before he or she strikes again. A children's game pinned to each of the victims is the only clue to the Hangman's identity. The prime suspects form a rogues gallery of villains--Two-Face, The Joker, the Riddler, Catwoman. Even the police force, led by newly appointed Commissioner 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.

A stunning murder mystery from the highly acclaimed and Eisner Award-winning team of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale (Superman For All Seasons, Batman: The Long Halloween), this Absolute edition contains two new pages from the original creative team, sketches by Tim Sale, and an introduction by David Goyer, the co-writer of The Dark Knight Rises.
