Welcome to Gotham City--criminals rule both the day and the night, while heroes must wear masks to fight back. Of them all, one mask is more recognized--and more feared--than all the others: Batman, the Dark Knight. In this volume, edited by Martin H. Greenberg, today's top authors pit the Darknight Detective against his greatest enemies: The Riddler, Two-Face, The Joker, Catwoman, and The Penguin. This volume collects 16 stories (by 13 authors) previously published in the four volumes of the "Further Adventures of Batman/Further Adventures of The Joker" series. It is a companion volume to Adventures of the Batman. Contents:
