All Star Batman by Scott Snyder: The Complete Series

Batman is on the run, in an action-packed journey from writer Scott Snyder (Absolute Batman) and a host of superstar artists!

Batman has a mission—and everyone wants to stop him.

Tasked with transporting Two-Face across the country, the Dark Knight becomes the target of assassins, bounty hunters, and some of his most dangerous enemies. With no backup and nowhere to hide, Batman must rely on his instincts, skill, and determination to survive.

As the journey unfolds, each stop brings new threats—from brutal confrontations with Mr. Freeze to mind-bending encounters with the Mad Hatter and deadly run-ins with Poison Ivy. But the deeper danger lies in the psychological battle with Two-Face himself, whose influence threatens to unravel everything.

Fast-paced and high-stakes, this story pushes Batman beyond Gotham and into a relentless fight where every decision matters.

This volume collects the complete All-Star Batman series in one edition, delivering a full, action-driven Batman story from beginning to end from acclaimed Batman writer Scott Snyder alongside an all-star roster of artists, such as John Romita Jr., Jock, Giuseppe Camuncoli, Tula Lotay (Bodies), and Rafael Albuquerque.
