Synopsis:

When a petty theft caused the deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne, the scars on the lone witness -- young Bruce Wayne -- went deeper than any physical wound ever could. Haunted by the moment when he watched, powerless, as those he loved most met their deaths, young Bruce would be changed forever as he grew to adulthood and became the Dark Knight known as the Batman. In August, a bold and stylish Prestige Format one-shot -- Batman: Ego -- offers a glimpse of the psychological conflicts that drove Batman early in his career. Written and drawn by Darwyn Cooke, who has spent years working with Bruce Timm on storyboards for the Batman animated series, Batman: Ego finds Bruce Wayne tortured by the idea that he's slowly growing numb to the violence that plagues Gotham City. Feeling the weight of his commitment to his city, the Dark Knight fears that he's reached the end of his rope. Bruce Wayne discovers the greatest battles take place within. [per solicitation]
