Le fléau Jack Napier, le Joker, est de nouveau derrière les barreaux, mais Gotham est loin d'avoir retrouvé son calme. En plein doute quant au bien-fondé de sa mission, Batman a vu son image durablement dégradée à la suite des récents événements. La disparition d'Alfred laisse cependant derrière elle un héritage inattendu qui requerra toute l'attention de Bruce : le journal d'Edmond Wayne daté de 1985, premier de sa lignée à s'installer à Gotham et adversaire d'un certain Lafayette Akrham, dont les ossements ont récemment été découverts dans la cellule du Joker.
Dans un monde où Batman est allé trop loin, le Joker doit sauver Gotham ! Le Joker, ce maniaque, ce tueur, celui que l'on surnomme le Clown Prince du Crime... si Batman, le Chevalier Noir, sombre du côté obscur, pourquoi le Joker ne pourrait-il pas sortir de sa psychose et devenir le Chevalier Blanc ? C'est ce qui arrive après qu'un traitement inédit a guéri le Joker et le fait redevenir Jack Napier : un nouveau candidat à la mairie de Gotham !
Les mille et une vies d'un aspirant écrivain... et ses mille et une morts. Brás de Oliva Domingos, fils du célèbre écrivain brésilien, passe ses journées à chroniquer les morts de ses contemporains pour le grand quotidien de Sao Paulo... et ses nuits à rêver que sa vie commence enfin. Mais remarque-t-on seulement le jour où notre vie commence vraiment ? Cela commence-t-il à 21 ans, lorsque l'on rencontre la fille de ses rêves ? Ou au crépuscule de sa vie...
Chargée de mettre un terme à la série de cadavres laissés dans le sillage du Clown Prince du Crime, la Suicide Squad d'Amanda Waller doit traquer le plus grand ennemi de Batman dans l'espoir de le mettre six pieds sous terre, une bonne fois pour toute. Par devoir, mais surtout par vengeance, l'ancien jeune prodige de Batman, Jason Todd, accepte de mener cette bande de criminels sur le terrain et de ne surtout faire confiance à personne. Et surtout pas à Harley Quinn...
Le Joker est mort. C'est désormais une certitude.
Mais qui, de Batman ou d'une menace autrement plus malfaisante, a pu mettre fin au règne de terreur du clown criminel ?
Batman, retrouvé inconscient près du corps de son ennemi, est incapable de mettre ses souvenirs en ordre. Pire, il en vient à douter de la réalité elle-même. Pour l'accompagner, et le perdre un peu plus ?, le justicier reçoit l'aide providentielle de John Constantine au cours d'une enquête qui l'amènera à frayer avec les forces mystiques tapies au coeur de Gotham.

The story of how Batman's career started, told in graphic novel form
In an alternate world where the mere presence of American superheroes changed history, the US won the Vietnam War, Nixon is still president, and the cold war is in full effect. WATCHMEN begins as a murder-mystery, but soon unfolds into a planet-altering conspiracy. As the resolution comes to a head, the unlikely group of reunited heroes--Rorschach, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias--have to test the limits of their convictions and ask themselves where the true line is between good and evil. In the mid-eighties, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons created WATCHMEN, changing the course of comics' history and essentially remaking how popular culture perceived the genre. Popularly cited as the point where comics came of age, WATCHMEN's sophisticated take on superheroes has been universally acclaimed for its psychological depth and realism. WATCHMEN is collected here with a new cover, sketches, extra bonus material and a new introduction by series artist Dave Gibbons.
