Targeting those closest to Batman, The Clown Prince of Crime will unleash his most unpredictable, vicious, and psychotic assault on the Dark Knight ever!

Can Batman stop his arch-rival’s most deranged assault ever? Or will the cost of a deadly secret be a family member’s life?

The inclusion of Detective Comics #1 is, in my opinion, essential. It makes the set up better and brings the whole big picture of the story together. The opening chapters are exciting and intense, but the final chapter is legitimately one of the best single issues of a comic that I've ever read. Every time I get to the final confrontation, I get goosebumps that I have to physically shake off. Unreal script, and an unreal understanding of these characters. Man, I love it so much.
