Explores Batman's entire career, with full details of his breathtaking adventures and battles, resolute allies, chequered love life, and formidable Rogues Gallery.

DC's Dark Knight first emerged from the shadows in the pages of Detective Comics in 1939, when young Bruce Wayne vowed to avenge his parents' murder and fight for justice in crime-ridden Gotham City.

Packed with information on the Dark Knight, including his creation and evolution over the decades, this in-world celebration of DC's most popular Super Hero explores Batman's motives and drives, his incredible array of weapons and vehicles, his "family" of allies, and his roster of menacing Super-Villains, including The Joker, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, The Riddler, The Penguin, Bane, Scarecrow, Killer Croc, and many more.

This definitive volume brings Batman's thrilling story right up to date with full details of his exploits in recent DC storylines such as Rebirth, Dark Nights: Metal and Dark Nights: Death Metal, and City of Bane. Featuring a detailed timeline of key events in the life of Bruce Wayne aka Batman, Batman: The Ultimate Guide New Edition is packed with spectacular full-colour artwork from the original comics and is a dream purchase for the Dark Knight's legion of fans all over the world.
