The war on crime is a bitter struggle, claiming many innocents. For any
one man to end crime is a near-impossible task. For Batman, it is his life's
work... an all-consuming obsession. When the Dark Knight encounters a young boy
whose parents have been murdered (echoing the tragedy that created Batman
himself), it raises fundamental questions about his own life in Batman: War
on Crime, writer Paul Dini and artist Alex Ross' fully painted, oversized
follow-up to their best-selling, award-winning Superman: Peace on Earth.
Written by Emmy Award-winning producer Dini (The Batman Adventures: Mad
Love, Batman: Harley Quinn), with staggering painted art by Ross
(Kingdom Come, Uncle Sam), Batman: War on Crime finds the
Dark Knight questioning the true nature of the evil he has dedicated himself to
eradicating - crime itself - taking him from Gotham City's grimmest alleys to
its shining corporate towers. Combining traditional comic-book storytelling and
the illustrated-text format of storybooks, Dini and Ross have created a worthy
successor to Superman: Peace on Earth, one that stands on its own as an
indisputable classic. SC, 10x13, 64pg, FC
