Batman and Son by Grant Morrison
Batman receives the shock of his life when he discovers that he has a son, Damian Wayne Trained by the League of Assassins, this offspring of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul isn't just the deadliest 10-year-old in the world--he's also intensely focused on being Batman's new sidekick... no matter which Robin stands in his way. Meanwhile, mysterious Batman imposters begin to appear on the streets of Gotham. One of these imposters begins to kill cops, working his way towards Police Commissioner Jim Gordon. But after failing in his pursuit and being captured, Batman falls into a coma and his mind flashes back to a defining adventure in the life of a young Bruce Wayne...the hunt for his parents' killer Considered two of the most memorable and defining stories in creative powerhouse author Grant Morrison's celebrated run on the Dark Knight, Batman: Batman and Son is a tour de force of graphic storytelling. Featuring art from two of the industry's most transcendent stars, Andy Kubert (Flashpoint) and J.H. Williams III (Batwoman), the ripple effects of this graphic novel are still felt in DC's storytelling today. Collects Batman issues #655-658, #663-669 and #672-675.
