Batman Vol. 7: Endgame (the New 52) - by Scott Snyder (Paperback)

About the Book

For years, the Joker has regarded Batman with a sick, twisted love, thinking that one could never exist without the other. But that's all changed. Now the Clown Prince of Crime is done playing. He's going to kill Batman. And he's going to do it using those who Batman loves the most: the Justice League. The Joker returns to Gotham City with a deadlier agenda than ever before, using every tool at his disposal to finally kill the Dark Knight. That includes turning Batman's allies against him in the bloodiest brawl that he's ever had to survive.

Book Synopsis

Batman's greatest foe has returned for one last gag. But this time, not even the Joker is laughing. In their last encounter, the Dark Knight failed to live up to Joker's grand plans, so now the Joker is deadly serious. The games are over. And everything is on the table.

In their most intense, physical showdown ever, nothing is sacred to the Joker--the Dark Knight's family, friends, allies, home base and those he holds most dear... everyone is a target. The Clown Prince of Crime isn't staging a comedy, it's a dark tragedy.

The #1 New York Times best-selling team of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo create the ultimate face-off between the greatest hero and villain in all of comics in Batman Volume 7: Endgame--and it's no laughing matter. Collects stories from Batman #35-40.
