What role did the family of Helena Bertinelli -- the Huntress -- play in more than a hundred years of Gotham's criminal history? And can even the Question -- himself a vigilante with a troubled past -- help Helena find redemption? CRY FOR BLOOD sets the stage for a new direction in the Huntress' life, dramatically altering her relationship to Batman and Gotham's other heroes by the miniseries' end. 32 pages, full color.

Determined not to let Damian succumb to the murderous ways of the League of Assassins, Bruce takes in his son and tries to teach him how to be a hero. But Damian's indoctrination from birth as a lethal killing machine may prove to be too much for even the Caped Crusader to undo. And how will Bruce's attempts to bond with his biological son affect his relationships with his adopted wards? From the inspired minds of comics guru Grant Morrison (Action Comics, All-Star Superman) and artists Andy Kubert (Flashpoint), J.H. Williams III (Batwoman), and Tony S. Daniel (Detective Comics) comes several astonishing tales of the Dark Knight--plus a future glimpse of Damian Wayne taking up the mantle of Batman--in this Absolute Edition of Batman and Son.

He's also introduced new characters (such as Damian Wayne) and new concepts (such as Batman, Inc.). The Anatomy of Zur-En-Arrh analyzes Grant Morrison's Batman, including how it understands and reinterprets Batman's long history. Featuring an interview with Grant Morrison.
