Bane, the villain who broke Batman's back in Knightfall, steps out of the shadows and into the spotlight in this new collection of classic stories! First, discover Bane's origin story in an epic that leads from a hellish South American prison to the streets of Gotham City, as Bane's obsession with destroying Batman begins. Then, on a quest to learn the identity of his own father, Bane crosses paths with one of Batman's greatest foes: Ra's al Ghul, the immortal Demon's Head, who attempts to recruit Bane in his plans for world domination.

In this epic tale written by Peter Milligan (RED LANTERNS, JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK, SKREEMER), Batman is led through a labyrinthine urban maze by his old nemesis the Riddler, who seems to have changed into an abominable monster with one purpose: to drive Batman insane. In his quest, the Riddler is working with an occultist who has summoned a demon to stop Batman—but in the process, the Riddler himself is slowly changing into a nightmarish beast! Collects BATMAN #452-454 and DETECTIVE COMICS #629-633.

Batman must team-up with his arch nemesis Ra's Al Ghul to stop a madman from destroying the world. A romance between the Dark Knight and Ra's daughter, Talia, ignites and will change Batman's life forever!

RA'S AL GHUL IS DYING From award-winning author Greg Rucka (BATWOMAN, WONDER WOMAN) and comics legend Klaus Janson (BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, Daredevil), BATMAN: DEATH AND THE MAIDENS: THE DELUXE EDITION tells the gripping story of the final days of Ra's al Ghul. Ra's al Ghul has lived for hundreds of years, but he is not immortal. Without access to his life-giving Lazarus Pit, death will come to the Demon's Head just as it would anyone else. Ra's knows his days are numbered, but his life's work is far from complete. Time and again the Dark Knight has thwarted him, but now, in his final days, Ra's must turn to the Batman for help. In exchange for his aid, Ra's offers Batman the opportunity of a lifetime—the chance to speak with his dead parents. But the reunion is not what Batman imagined, and what Martha and Thomas Wayne have to say to their son will profoundly change both the man and the hero. This volume includes the complete nine-issue miniseries and prologue story as well as behind-the-scenes sketches and commentary.

It's Robin vs. Robin vs. Robin in these stories from TEEN TITANS #29, BATMAN #657, NIGHTWING #139 and BATMAN: BATTLE FOR THE COWL #3.
