Stories

  • Batman: Damned Book One · 46 pages

    Batman awakens in the back of an ambulance with serious injuries. Fleeing the ambulance to avoid having his secret identity discovered, he is found by John Constantine, who informs him that the Joker is dead. Batman has no memory of what happened to the Joker or what caused his own injuries and begins an investigation.

Publisher’s description

The Joker is dead. There is no doubt about that. But whether Batman finally snapped his scrawny neck or some other sinister force in Gotham City did the deed is still a mystery. Problem is, Batman can’t remember…and the more he digs into this labyrinthian case, the more his mind starts to doubt everything he’s uncovering. So who better to set him straight than…John Constantine? Problem with that is as much as John loves a good mystery, he loves messing with people’s heads even more. So with John’s “help,” the pair will delve into the sordid underbelly of Gotham as they race toward the mind-blowing truth of who murdered The Joker.
