Illustrated Holiday Classic

Just as three wise men once conspired to honor a baby, three deranged villains in Gotham City have hatched a clever plan of their own. But rather than traveling to Bethlehem and offering gifts, these narcissistic ne'er-do-wells are going to seize control of Gotham City's government and power supply instead. Once again, the Dark Knight Detective is the city's only hope for salvation-but defeating the combined forces of the Penguin, Catwoman, and unfettered capitalism is going to take a Christmas miracle! (And possibly a Bat-Plane.) Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Batman Returns with this tongue-in-cheek retelling of Tim Burton's delightfully disturbing film. Reimagined into catchy verse and beautiful illustrations, this cautionary tale of identity, ambition, and the importance of work/life balance is guaranteed to get you into the Christmas spirit! STUNNING ILLUSTRATIONS: This one-of-a-kind tale features more than 30 colorful pieces of original artwork by renowned illustrator JJ Harrison. FAN FAVORITE CHARACTERS: The Dark Knight goes up against iconic villains like The Penguin and Catwoman in this action-packed Gotham City adventure. PERFECT GIFT FOR BATMAN FANS: This tongue-in-cheek homage to Tim Burton's classic is the perfect gift for the Batman fans in your life.
