Description
Batman has faced monsters, assassins, gods—and now he must face something far more frightening: fatherhood. Grant Morrison, known for his work on Batman, delivers a sharp, intimate reimagining of legacy and identity within the Bat-Family, now in DC's popular Compact Comics format.
From the endlessly creative minds of comics legends Grant Morrison (52, All-Star Superman, We3, New X-Men) and Andy Kubert (Adam Strange, 1602, X-Men) comes a startling new chapter in the life of Gotham's Dark Knight.
The mysterious Talia, daughter of the archvillain Ra's al Ghul and Batman's onetime love, returns with a boy named Damian and claims the child is Batman's son.
Stunned, the Dark Knight takes the child in, but the boy, raised among the brutal dictates of the League of Assassins, has his own agenda. Soon both Tim Drake, Bruce Wayne's newly adopted heir, and Alfred, Wayne's faithful butler, find themselves targets of this genetically perfect and very angry child.
Is Damian really just a young, misguided boy trying to prove himself to his father—or have long years of Talia's indoctrination left him an operative solely designed to destroy the Batman?
Under the masterly skills of Morrison and Kubert, Batman & Son is one of the most intriguing Batman tales ever told. It also features the artwork of John VanFleet (Batman: The Chalice) in a unique story highlighting the Joker.
Collects Batman #655-658 and #663-666.

About the Author
Grant Morrison is an Eisner Award-winning writer and one of the most influential voices in modern comics, celebrated for redefining mythology across superheroes, horror, and experimental fiction. Their groundbreaking work at DC includes Batman, All-Star Superman, Final Crisis, JLA, and Doom Patrol, each marked by bold imagination and emotional depth. Beyond comics, Morrison is the creator of the television series Brave New World and the author of the bestselling memoir Supergods. Their storytelling blends high-concept ideas, genre innovation, and a deep fascination with heroism's symbolic power. Andy Kubert is an acclaimed DC artist known for defining runs on Batman, Detective Comics, and event titles like Flashpoint. His bold compositions, kinetic action, and expressive character work have shaped some of the most cinematic moments in modern DC storytelling. Kubert's visual intensity brings emotional power and dramatic scale to every page he touches. John Van Fleet is recognized for his striking painted and digital work on titles such as Batman: No Man's Land, Catwoman: Selina's Big Score, and The Joker: Devil's Advocate. His atmospheric textures and moody visual tone lend depth and psychological weight to Gotham's darker corners. Van Fleet's style brings a distinctive, noir-influenced edge to character-driven stories. Jesse Delperdang is a veteran inker and artist whose DC credits include JLA, Batman Beyond, Batman/Superman, and multiple collaborations across the Batman line. Known for clean finishes and sharp definition, Delperdang enhances storytelling clarity while preserving the energy of the underlying pencils. His work adds precision, polish, and rhythm to large-scale superhero narratives.
