Batman and the Mad Monk is an American comic book limited series, featuring the DC Comics superhero Batman published in 2006–2007.[1] It is set during the Batman: Year One continuity, but after the events of Batman and the Monster Men and before the events of Batman: The Man Who Laughs. It is the second part of Matt Wagner's two-part Dark Moon Rising series, which are expanded and modernized versions of Golden Age Batman stories.[2]

Plot

Batman must counter sinister machinations and new dimensions of wickedness as he confronts the hooded menace of the Mad Monk, his first encounter with a supernatural villain. He also must deal with the direct repercussions of the events in Batman and the Monster Men.
