In the wake of 'KnightsEnd,' Jean-Paul Valley -- the man who had been Batman -- has seemingly regained his sanity. Now broken and lost, Valley is still haunted by his disgrace and by nightmarish visions of the true Batman. His torment nearly blinds him to the dangers of the mean streets on which he lives, until circumstances trigger his life-long conditioning, forcing Azrael to the surface. Elsewhere, mysterious forces are swirling with designs on the avenging angel...including the Dark Knight himself! 32 pages, full color. Cover price $1.95.
