Once a week, rain or shine, Alfred Pennyworth walks to a little cemetery plot on the Wayne Manor grounds. He meticulously tends to Thomas and Martha Wayne s headstones, plinths, and slabs: weeding, cleaning, polishing. But how much longer before there s another Wayne memorial to tend to? Batman s current case forces him to inhabit the mind of a murder victim with a half-eaten face sending him on a collision course with an enemy who has infiltrated every part of Gotham. Every corner Batman turns leads him one step closer to his own grave! In The Batman s Grave, Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch, one of the most legendary creative partnerships of the modern age, reunite for a story about life, death, and the questions most are too afraid to ask.
