In this all-new original story written by Brian Michael Bendis, Batman
is pushed to his limit as he sets off in search of an item with the
potential to destroy the universe as we know it! Batman isn't the only
one looking for this item though. It's a race to the finish line with
the fate of the universe hanging in the balance!
The Riddler has stolen a priceless jeweled egg, and Batman is on his
trail, chasing him from Gotham to Gorilla City and points beyond. But
when Batman catches up with the crook, he realizes something is wrong
with his old foe. The egg is possessed of some strange power that is
scrambling Riddler's brain. The clue to what this is may lie in who
hired Riddler to steal the egg: Vandal Savage. What does the immortal
mastermind want with it? Batman's quest is like a tour of the DC
Universe, spanning space and even time. Guest stars include Green
Lantern, Green Arrow, Deathstroke, Jonah Hex and more!
Brian Michael Bendis (Action Comics, Young Justice, Pearl) and Nick
Derington (Doom Patrol) weave a tale that leads the Dark Knight on a
wild-goose chase across the DC Universe, tracking down a mysterious
artifact that contains the literal key to humanity's survival!
This collects Batman: Universe #1-6.
