Reading the three volumes of Batman and Robin gave me a hankering for Batman by Morrison stories, and I was fortunate to have a copy of this book.
I remember reading this before and it was a dense book, deliberate with its panel layouts and dripping with lore, the first part of this collection referenced several Silver Age stories, including "Robin Dies at Dawn" and "Batman—The Superman of Planet-X!", and the latter two chapters, a recap of Batman's history, and succinct recounting of Batman's participation in Morrison's "Final Crisis".
This graphic novel lived up to its title. Doctor Hurt attempted to destroy Batman's mind and Bruce Wayne's reputation, only to awaken the failsafe persona of Batman of Zur-En-Arrh. Batman literally rose from the grave to thwart Hurt.
