☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1994 collection from DC gathers a selection of stories originally published in the anthology series Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, featuring tales that explore the Dark Knight's early years and various facets of his crime-fighting career. The volume includes work by notable creators such as Dennis O'Neil, Mike Mignola, and others, offering a mix of moody, character-driven narratives that defined the series' tone.
In "Blades, Part One," Batman confronts the enigmatic Mr. Lime, only to be drawn into a deadly game orchestrated by the ruthless Cavalier. As the stakes rise and violence escalates, the Dark Knight faces a brutal test of will and endurance when the Cavalier strikes down Randolph Salt and overpowers him in a brutal clash. Written by James Robinson and rendered with chilling precision by Tim Sale, this gripping tale captures Gotham’s shadowy tension with stark, atmospheric art. The cover, a striking piece by Brian Bolland, perfectly encapsulates the story’s dark, brooding tone.
In "Blades, Part One," Batman tracks the enigmatic Mr. Lime, a killer targeting Gotham's elderly, as the city grapples with a new vigilante in the shadows—Hudson Pyle, who takes up the mantle of the Cavalier. The story unfolds with sharp tension, blending detective work and masked mystery in a Gotham where old secrets and new identities collide.
In "Blades, Part Two," Batman presses his search for the enigmatic Mr. Lime, while the Cavalier, torn between loyalty and love, continues his secret thefts for Randolph Salt—someone who holds Ellen’s fate in his hands. With tension mounting and old alliances fraying, the line between justice and desperation grows dangerously thin.
In "Blades, Part Three," Batman tracks down Mr. Lime, only to face the deadly Cavalier, who coldly executes Randolph Salt before overpowering the Dark Knight. With Batman injured and unable to stop him, the Cavalier’s final act leaves Gotham’s justice system to deliver the last judgment.
