"The Joker never dies! Gotham City, the future. Teenager Terry McGinnis has taken over the mantle of Batman, mentored by Bruce Wayne himself, but the criminals menacing Gotham have only gotten deadlier. Now, a new threat is rising. The Jokerz, a gang of petty criminals inspired by Batman's greatest foe, are now flooding into Gotham. Organized and more deadly than ever before, they are united by a single murderous cause under a charismatic leader with a terrifying new take on what it means to be a Joker. Unfortunately, insane clown gangs aren't the only problem Terry has to deal with. With the city in chaos, Batman finds himself pulled in different directions--his best friend Maxine Gibson is missing in action, his ex-girlfriend Dana suddenly turns to him for help with her own crisis, all while Bruce Wayne needs him more than ever. His resources spread thin, Batman will have to turn to some familiar--and unwelcoming--faces for help."--Page 4 of cover.

"Collecting BATMAN: DARK VICTORY #0-13, this epic continues the story of THE LONG HALLOWEEN. It is early in Batman's crimefighting career, when James Gordon, Harvey Dent, and the vigilante himself were all just beginning their roles as Gotham's protectors. Once a town controlled by organized crime, Gotham City suddenly finds itself being run by lawless freaks, such as Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, and the Joker. Witnessing his city's dark evolution, the Dark Knight completes his transformation into the city's greatest defender. He faces multiple threats, including the seeming return of a serial killer called Holiday. Batman's previous investigation of Holiday's killings revealed that more than one person was responsible for the murders. So the question remains: who is committing Holiday's crimes this time? And how many will die before Batman learns the truth?"--
