Sal Maroni

Sal Maroni is a DC villain who stepped into the Modern Age spotlight with a 2020 debut courtesy of the singular Matt Wagner, whose Legends of the Dark Knight showcase placed this crime figure squarely in Gotham's shadowy underworld. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Maroni moves in rarefied company — sharing pages with Bruce Wayne, Harvey Dent, Selina Kyle, Barbara Gordon, and Alfred Pennyworth, a roster that reads like a who's who of Batman's closest allies and most compelling figures. Turning up in Absolute Batman as well, this is a character whose small footprint carries real weight, embedded in some of the most atmospheric corners of contemporary Gotham storytelling.
