Batman

El tiempo ha pasado tras la desaparición de Batman y las cosas no dejan de empeorar en Gotham: aumentan los índices de criminalidad, se recrudecen las guerras de bandas… y dos de sus principales villanos —el Pingüino y Dos Caras— se enfrentan directamente por el poder de los bajos fondos.

El legendario escritor Alan Moore redefinió la figura del superhéroe con Watchmen y V de Vendetta. En Batman: La broma asesina, aborda los orígenes del mejor supervillano del cómic, el Joker… y con ello cambia el mundo del Hombre Murciélago para siempre. Impresionantemente ilustrada, esta Edición de lujo de Batman: La broma asesina goza de un deslumbrante nuevo coloreado del propio dibujante, Brian Bolland, que es fiel a la versión original que él tenía en mente para este clásico moderno de la historieta.

En 2002, DC Comics reunió a dos de los autores más destacados del noveno arte, el guionista Jeph Loeb (Batman: El largo Halloween) y el dibujante Jim Lee (Liga de la Justicia), para que se ocuparan de la colección mensual de Batman durante un año. El resultado fue Batman: Silencio, un éxito rotundo que fascinó e intrigó por igual a cientos de miles de lectores, la saga con la que el Caballero Oscuro entró en el nuevo milenio con más fuerza que nunca, que ECC Ediciones recupera ahora en formato Deluxe y con extras de la edición 15 aniversario USA.

Información de la editorial: Batman, Robin y Nightwing tienen entre manos un caso que involucra a Dos Caras sin sospechar que el Mortero, el virus letal que causó estragos en Gotham City, está a punto de regresar, mutado y mucho más agresivo. Pero ¿de dónde procede la nueva cepa y quién la ha creado? La respuesta se encuentra en una misteriosa excavación arqueológica que está visitando… ¿Catwoman?

Zounds! The questions abound for Batman! All will be revealed in BATMAN '66, VOL. 5—the adventure series inspired by the classic Batman television series.
WHO is to blame for raising Solomon Grundy from a Gotham cemetery, or forming a mega-malleable monstrosity like Clayface?

BATMAN ARKHAM: KILLER CROC collects some of the villain's greatest stories by some of the industry's greatest creators, including Gerry Conway (JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA), Chuck Dixon (NIGHTWING), Doug Moench (THE SPECTRE), Kelley Jones (DEADMAN), Norm Breyfogle (DETECTIVE COMICS), Dan Jurgens (SUPERMAN) and many more! Waylon Jones was born with a rare medical condition that caused his skin to become scaly and his appearance to develop progressively into that of a crocodile. Forced to wrestle alligators in a carnival, Waylon decided that if society declared him a freak, he would succumb to his savage nature and become Killer Croc. Known for his brutal strength and fearsome rage, Killer Croc has been one of Batman's most physically formidable foes. When facing Croc, the Dark Knight isn't just dealing with madness: he's fighting a creature who is more beast than man. But Killer Croc will stop at nothing to defeat (or consume) his prey!

This is a Batman story like no other-the harrowing and eloquent autobiographical tale of writer Paul Dini's courageous struggle to overcome a desperate situation. The Caped Crusader has been the all-abiding icon of justice and authority for generations. But in this surprising original graphic novel, we see Batman in a new light-as the savior who helps a discouraged man recover from a brutal attack that left him unable to face the world.
In the 1990s, legendary writer Paul Dini had a flourishing career writing the hugely popular BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES and TINY TOON ADVENTURES. Walking home one evening, he was jumped and viciously beaten within an inch of his life. His recovery process was arduous, hampered by the imagined antics of the villains he was writing for television including the Joker, Harley Quinn and the Penguin. But despite how bleak his circumstances were, or perhaps because of it, Dini also always imagined the Batman at his side, chivvying him along during his darkest moments. A gripping graphic memoir of one writer's traumatic experience and his deep connection with his creative material, DARK NIGHT: A TRUE BATMAN STORY is an original graphic novel that will resonate profoundly with fans. Art by the incredible and talented Eduardo Risso (100 BULLETS, TRANSMETROPOLITAN).

Years ago, Batman encountered a human trafficker known as Mother. Then-Robin Dick Grayson knew nothing of it at the time, but the case was much more complex than he could have ever imagined. Now, without Bruce to guide them, a grown-up Grayson and his allies must rely on the help of the silent, mysterious Cassandra Cain to pick up the trail and stop Mother's deadly plans. But with Mother's army of sleeper agents all around, they can't trust anyone-even each other! Collects BATMAN AND ROBIN ETERNAL #1-12.
