DC Comics has partnered with The Folio Society to release a collection of classic Batman stories. The collection, titled DC: Batman, features 12 iconic Batman adventures from some of the best writers and artists in the industry. It includes Batman's debut in Detective Comics #27, as well as popular stories like The Killing Joke, Year One, and The Dark Knight Returns. The anthology also includes a replica of Batman #1, which introduced the characters Joker and Catwoman.
The 320-page deluxe edition was curated by longtime DC Editor-in-Chief Jenette Kahn and will be available for sale on February 20. The stories in DC: Batman showcase the evolution of the character over the decades, from the dutiful crimefighter of the 1940s to the darker and more complex version seen in recent years. The collection explores themes of duality, darkness, and the blurred lines between good and evil that have defined Batman's character.
