nNamed by James Gunn as an influence for Gods and Monsters, the first chapter of the new DC Universe film and television slate! This story inspires the upcoming film THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD. nFrom the endlessly creative minds of comics legends Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert comes a startling chapter in the life of Gothams Dark Knight. n nThe mysterious Talia, daughter of arch villain Ras al Ghul and Batmans one-time love, returns with a boy named Damian and claims the child is Batmans. n nStunned, 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 Waynes newly adopted heir and Alfred, Waynes faithful butler, find themselves targets of this genetically perfect and very angry child. n nIs Damian really just a misguided boy trying to prove himself to his father--or have long years of Talias indoctrination left him an operative solely designed to destroy Batman? n nUnder the masterly skills of Morrison and Kubert, BATMAN AND SON is one of the most intriguing Batman tales ever told. n nThis volume collects Batman #655-658 and #663-666.n
