DC Finest presents comprehensive collections of the most in-demand and celebrated periods in DC Comics history, spanning genres, characters, and eras! DC Finest: Batman: Year One and Two, one of the first DC Finest volumes, collected the initial years of the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths exploits of the Dark Knight. DC Finest: Batman: The Killing Joke and Other Stories picks up right where that volume left off, including the titular Batman: The Killing Joke by writer Alan Moore and artist Brian Bolland one of the most influential Batman stories of all time, and a defining moment in the lives of both The Joker and Barbara Gordon. This volume also includes Batman: Son of the Demon by Mike W. Barr and Jerry Bingham, which detailed the relationship between Batman and Talia al Ghul and directly inspired Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert s 'Batman and Son,' the story that introduced Damian Wayne.
