For months, Batman has been haunted by the death of Tim Drake, the young hero who fought beside him as Red Robin. Tim helped Batman assemble a team of heroes and misfits to help him keep Gotham safe, then fell in battle defending the city. Or so it seemed. In reality, Tim has been held captive, snatched from the moment of death by the mysterious Mr. Oz. Now he must escape this prison that exists outside of time, but he isnÕt coming back alone. Tim has every reason to trust his fellow prisoner, but when his new ally proves heÕs not afraid to kill, Tim begins to doubt everything he thought he knew! When the duo make their way back to Gotham City, TimÕs escape partner sets a plan in motion to murder one of BatmanÕs allies. Even reunited with Red Robin, can Batman and his team of heroes protect one of their own from a killer who knows them better than they know themselves? Writer James Tynion IV (Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and artists Eddy Barrows, Alvaro Martinez and Carmen Carnero continue the acclaimed run on Batman: Detective Comics. Collects Detective Comics #963-968.

"The Joker is waging a war on Batman, and he's going to use every ghost from the Dark Knight's past to win! As the Bat-Family reels from the recent loss of Alfred Pennyworth, no one has taken this death harder than Bruce Wayne. Alfred wasn't just a friend and partner to Gotham's favorite son; he was a father figure and a mentor to Bruce...and the loss has left the dark detective wounded. The Joker knows that now is the time to strike--and strike hard. The Clown Prince of Crime has unleashed a wave of friends, foes, and failures to attack Gotham's protector from the inside out. First up is Harvey Dent, a.k.a. Two-Face, whose violent impulses have been amplified to deadly new heights by the Joker--unleashing a cadre of zealots known as the Church of the Two on Gotham City! But that's not all--Lincoln March, Lucius Fox, Killer Croc, and countless more have been moved around the Joker's diabolical chessboard to bury the Bat once and for all. Will the Dark Knight rise? Or be drowned in laughter?"--
