Batman: Castle of the Bat #[nn]

This Elseworlds tale reimagines the Batman mythos through a Gothic horror lens, blending elements of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein with the Dark Knight's origin. Written by Jack C. Harris with art by Bo Hampton, the story follows a 19th-century scientist named Dr. Wayne who creates a monstrous creature in his castle laboratory, only for it to escape and terrorize the countryside. The collected edition includes the complete 1994 one-shot and features an introduction by the creators, offering a unique standalone take on the Batman legend outside of mainstream continuity.
