IL NUOVO VOLTO DEL MALE! Prima che la sua carriera di combattente del crimine iniziasse, Bruce Wayne aveva già visto più di quanto meritasse del lato oscuro dell’umanità. Ma niente poteva prepararlo a quello che stava per emergere dalle ombre, una sagoma dal volto pallido e sogghignante la cui follia minaccia di sommergere Gotham City nel terrore e nella violenza, travolgendo qualsiasi cosa gli si ponga di fronte. Per il Cavaliere Oscuro, il primo incontro con l’essere chiamato Joker sarà uno scioccante battesimo del fuoco. La successiva battaglia definirà la sua lotta permanente contro le forze del caos e cementerà il complicato rapporto con James Gordon e il dipartimento di polizia. Lo sceneggiatore Ed Brubaker, vincitore degli Eisner e Harvey Award, dà vita alle realistiche strade di Gotham con l’aiuto di acclamati disegnatori come Doug Mahnke, Sean Phillips e Patch Zircher, in un volume che raccoglie l’epocale graphic novel Batman: The Man Who Laughs insieme all’avventura investigativa Fatto di Legno, dalle pagine di Detective Comics 784-786, e all’Elseworlds Batman: Gotham Noir, prima collaborazione tra Brubaker e Phillips.
