But as he works in both the shadows and the light, Bruce finds himself drawn deeper into Gotham City's turmoil than ever before, and investigations by Commissioner Gordon and reporter Alexander Knox into the arsons only amplify his concerns.

Maus nos cuenta la historia de Vladek Spiegelman, un judío superviviente del Holocausto, y de su hijo, un historietista que intenta reconciliarse con su padre, con la terrible historia de este y con la mismísima Historia. La forma de este relato, un cómic (donde los nazis son gatos y los judíos, ratones), logra desposeernos de cualquier atisbo de cercanía que podamos tener con los hechos que aquí se refieren, y lo consigue precisamente porque se acerca a lo inefable empleando formas diminutivas. Como ha señalado el New York Times Book Review, este libro es «un formidable hito, que aporta el detalle de un documental y la viveza de una novela… un suceso literario de primer orden».
