From comics legends Len Wein, Jim Aparo, and John Byrne comes this haunting and introspective tale that puts all of the Caped Crusader’s detective skills to the test. When the original Batsuit worn by Bruce Wayne’s late father is stolen from the Batcave, Batman begins an investigation into the possible culprit, which leads him to recollect the origins of close allies, such as Robin and Alfred–and foes like Joe Chill and The Joker! This special edition reprint collects all three issues of the limited series.
