Synopsis for "The Order of Beasts"

Shrouded in mystery, a secret society convenes with the supposed purpose of bringing new leadership to wartime England.

The mystery unfolds in BATMAN: THE ORDER OF BEASTS, a 48-page Prestige Format Special painted by Eddie Campbell (From Hell) and co-written by Campbell and Darren White. Campbell tells the story of a young Batman who must hone his new detective skills while using them to penetrate the veil surrounding the Order of Beasts.
