Absolute Batman: Dark Victory (2025 Edition) (HC)

Gotham’s scarred legacy spirals into a deadly game of survival.

In the early days of Batman’s crusade, a shadowy killer known as “Hangman” targets Gotham’s elite, leaving behind a cryptic calling card: a children’s game pinned to each victim. As tension escalates, Batman must unravel a twisted mystery that drains away the city’s twisted layers—revealing family secrets, systemic corruption, and the first whispers of public trust tested.

Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s critically lauded origin sequel to The Long Halloween gains epic scale in this celebrated Absolute Edition. Teaming classic noir storytelling with stylistic visuals, Dark Victory redefines the mythos of Batman and introduces the birth of Robin against a backdrop of moral complexity and escalating crime.

This deluxe Absolute Edition collects Batman: Dark Victory #0–13 and related one-shots in a 408‑page slipcased hardcover (8⅛ × 12¼ in). It features meticulously remastered art, two new pages by Loeb & Sale, script annotations, character designs, an introduction by David Goyer, and behind‑the‑scenes process art—an essential, premium collector’s edition.
