Batman #679 2008

This variant edition of Batman #679, published by DC in August 2008, is a pivotal chapter in Grant Morrison's 'Batman R.I.P.' storyline. Robin and Damian Wayne reluctantly team up to locate the missing Dark Knight while the Club of Villains terrorizes Gotham. The issue prominently features Batman operating as his unhinged 'Batman of Zur-En-Arrh' persona, a critical element of Morrison's psychological deconstruction of the character. This Tony Daniel variant is notable for a surprising character return.
