Story/Spoilers
In book #1, “Hell’s Hunting Ground”, An all-too-human Bruce Wayne must face a Gotham full of supernatural creatures in a miniseries from the writer/penciller team behind the Batman “Vampire Trilogy.” The popular Batman creative team that produced the popular Batman & Dracula: Red Rain and Batman: Bloodstorm reunite for a haunting 4-issue Prestige Elseworlds miniseries that pits an all- too-human Dark Knight against supernatural villains who are blends of classic horror characters and Batman’s familiar gallery of foes. Written by Doug Moench, with chilling, stylized art by Kelley Jones and John Beatty, Haunted Gotham finds a very mortal Bruce Wayne in a Gotham City that has become an isolated hunting ground, cut off from the rest of the world by evil, unearthly beings who prey on humanity. Trained from birth to combat the dark forces, only Wayne can hope to prevail against an army of twisted creatures that includes werewolf assassins, ghosts, demons, zombies, and a patchwork Joker (wearing the head of Bruce Wayne’s father) among its members. But to gain the power he needs; must Batman sacrifice his parents’ souls?

Next in book #2, “Part Two: Night Creatures”, As Batman learns more about the dark forces that control Gotham City, a new monster stalks the streets, a patchwork man made from the body parts of the dead, with the head of Batman’s slain father. Blackfire’s intentions, Blackfire resorts to unthinkable methods in order to gain his grip on the city. And when Batman is re-captured by the cult, it’s up to Robin to save him!

Next in book #3,“Part Three: The Shattered Serpent”, Batman confronts an ancient evil that has traveled across a vast gulf of space and time to terrify, to shatter, to destroy… an evil that calls itself Ophidian…

Finally in book #4, “Part Four: Blood of the Bat”, The haunting miniseries concludes. In an attempt to uncover the dark forces tormenting Gotham City, Batman asks Cat Majik to hold a séance in Wayne Manor. But when he does, the old house becomes a place of supernatural terror.
