DC FINEST: BATMAN — NIGHT OF THE STALKER
Batman faces crime, mystery, and psychological threats in a darker, more dangerous Gotham in these defining Bronze Age adventures.
Gotham City is changing—and Batman must change with it.
As crime grows more unpredictable and dangerous, the Dark Knight is drawn into cases that push him beyond traditional detective work. From high-stakes battles with some of his most dangerous enemies to tense investigations that uncover Gotham’s rampant corruption, every encounter tests his instincts, restraint, and resolve.
Bringing together core Batman stories with rare and unexpected material, this DC Finest volume delivers an immersive, wide-ranging collection that captures the tone and evolution of the Dark Knight Detective during this pivotal period.
Collects Batman #246-281, Detective Comics #430-445, and the never-before-collected five-page Batman story that was included with the Batman model kit released by Aurora in 1974.

Buncha thoughts:
— In addition to the title story by Vin Amendola, Sal Amendola, and Steve Englehart — one of the most revered Batman stories of the ’70s — the book hits the entire 100-Pager era, including editor Archie Goodwin’s acclaimed run on Detective Comics. (Night of the Stalker was part of it.)
— The stories from Batman are outstanding too, with favorites starring the Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, Riddler, Two-Face, the Scarecrow and more. After several years of keeping most of the Bat-villains on the shelf, this is when they really came roaring back. I LOVE these comics!
— The Bat-Murderer saga is also included.
— And how about that Aurora reprint! That is NEAT!
— There’s also a new DC Finest: Robin edition coming that covers much of the same period, and then some. Click here for the skinny.
— The DC book news is coming fast and furious, so expect more to come.
