Absolute Batman #25 Preview

 

After the Joker threw his friends in Ark M and experimented on them, Bruce Wayne told himself he didn’t need anyone. When his mother returned from the grave, Bruce pushed her away, just like his friends. The Scarecrow even wants him to believe that his dad’s still alive. But Bruce refuses to let the Joker, Scarecrow, or anyone else control him. After silencing the Scarecrow, he’s set his sights on the Joker.

 

Alfred Pennyworth realizes that Bruce has awakened something in him. When he looks around, he sees that same fearlessness reflected in other people's eyes. He senses their hope that perhaps they too can fight for a better world. Even if he doesn’t want their help, how many people will rise up and help Bruce as he prepares for the biggest fight of his life? And can Batman take down the man who controls the world?
