DC's flagship title is relaunched for the first time ever, with new Batman adventures from acclaimed writer & artist Tony S. Daniel! He makes dolls out of his victims--and he's tired of being referred to in the media as the Gotham Strangler. His moniker is the Dollmaker, and he and his insane family are going to hunt down Gotham City's public figures and turn them into the ultimate collectables. As the Dollmaker ups the stakes, Batman finds himself in a race against time--because one of his allies is the Dollmaker's next target! Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne explores a budding romance with television journalist Charlotte Rivers, who's visiting Gotham City to cover the gruesome slayings while also trying to uncover Bruce's own mystery.
