Batman by Tom King Book One

＂In 2016, DC Rebirth brought new life to the company’s core line of superhero stories. At the forefront was the relaunched flagship Batman series, written by rising star Tom King, who was joined by top-tier artists including David Finch, Mikel Janâin, Mitch Gerads, and Jason Fabok. Now these stories return in a hefty new collection, including the compelling story arcs ’I Am Gotham,’ ’I Am Suicide,’ ’Rooftops,’ ’I Am Bane,’ and ’The Button,’ an unexpected crossover with The Flash. And speaking of unexpected--this volume also collects the Batman/Elmer Fudd Special by King and Lee Weeks, a thoroughly unlikely pairing between DC’s Dark Knight and Looney Tunes’ hapless hunter that yielded one of the most gripping noir tales that comics has seen＂
