Synopsis "Batman and Son (New Edition)"

Named by James Gunn as an influence for Gods and Monsters, the first chapter of the new DC Universe film and television slate! This story inspires the upcoming film THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD. From the endlessly creative minds of comics legends Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert comes a startling chapter in the life of Gotham's Dark Knight. The mysterious Talia, daughter of arch villain Ra's al Ghul and Batman's one-time love, returns with a boy named Damian and claims the child is Batman's. Stunned, the Dark Knight takes the child in, but the boy, raised among the brutal dictates of the League of Assassins, has his own agenda. Soon, both Tim Drake, Bruce Wayne's newly adopted heir and Alfred, Wayne's faithful butler, find themselves targets of this genetically perfect and very angry child. Is Damian really just a misguided boy trying to prove himself to his father--or have long years of Talia's indoctrination left him an operative solely designed to destroy Batman? Under the masterly skills of Morrison and Kubert, BATMAN AND SON is one of the most intriguing Batman tales ever told. This volume collects Batman #655-658 and #663-666.

Inició su carrera en DC Comics en la década de 1980 como letrista y más tarde ilustró series como Sgt. Rock, Adam Strange y el crossover Batman Versus Predator. Su trayectoria se consolidó al pasar a Marvel, donde dejó una huella imborrable en títulos como Uncanny X-Men, Ultimate X-Men y sagas clave como Age of Apocalypse. También fueron destacadas sus ilustraciones en series como Wolverine: Origin, Marvel 1602 (en colaboración con Neil Gaiman) y Ultimate Iron Man.

En 2005 regresó a DC mediante un contrato exclusivo, convirtiéndose en el artista de referencia de Batman. Junto a Grant Morrison, co-creó al controvertido personaje Damian Wayne. Su arte embelleció grandes historias como Batman: Cacophony, Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?, Flashpoint y The Dark Knight III: The Master Race.
