BATMAN THE MAN WHO LAUGHS THE DELUXE EDITION

Ed Brubaker and Doug Mahnke chronicle Batman's first fateful encounter with the Joker. A homicidal maniac is murdering Gotham's prominent citizens, leaving a ghastly rictus grin on every victim's face — and the young Dark Knight's investigation leads him straight to the man who will become his eternal archenemy.

Collected in deluxe hardcover for the first time, this edition also includes the atmospheric team-up mystery from Detective Comics #784–786 featuring the original Green Lantern, Alan Scott, and the Eisner-winning Brubaker/Sean Phillips noir tale Batman: Gotham Noir.
