Untold until now, one of the darkest chapters in Batman’s history sees all of Gotham’s villains choosing sides in a battle of wits that soon turns into a full-blown war—complete with civilian casualties. In the War of Jokes and Riddles, only one side can claim victory… but the scars it leaves will shape Batman’s future as he makes the most important decision of his life.

Now a single dimensional warp can rid him of both of his greatest rivals in one fell swoop! Gotham City: From the Penguin to Killer Croc to Ra’s al Ghul and beyond, the cowled crime fighter known as Batman has his hands full dealing with an already-overflowing gallery of rogues. Suddenly, a new enemy emerges in the form of the Shredder and his ninja followers, transported to Gotham and unleashed upon an unsuspecting world. Now they’re on the hunt for the technology that will allow them return home and conquer Gotham City along the way! Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, however, and the Caped Crusader won’t be fighting alone. But even with their combined talents, can this all-star team of Batman, Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael, and their teacher, Master Splinter, take down the most vicious villains from multiple dimensions?

In the second volume of Tom King’s acclaimed run, Batman faces challenges that test his mind, heart, and unrelenting will like never before.

This collection features breathtaking art by Mikel Janín, Mitch Gerads, and David Finch, bringing King’s vision to life in cinematic detail.
