Batman #682 2008

Batman #682 bridges the events of "Batman R.I.P." and "Final Crisis." Captured, Batman's memories are sifted by a telepathic parasite, Lump, to create an army for Darkseid. This issue offers a comprehensive retrospective of Batman's entire career, from his origin to key relationships and the genesis of Robin, as his life story is explored through his own recollections. It is notable for Grant Morrison's ambitious integration of Batman's vast history into a single, cohesive narrative.
