Batman: Damned #1
Batman: Damned Book One kicks off with Batman waking up injured in the back of an ambulance, disoriented and desperate to hide his identity. Found by John Constantine, he learns the unthinkable: the Joker is dead—but with no memory of how it happened, Batman must piece together the truth in a world where even the shadows seem to whisper secrets. Written by Brian Azzarello and brought to life with stark, atmospheric art by Lee Bermejo—pencils, inks, and colors all by Bermejo—this is a haunting, noir-tinged descent into the darkest corners of Gotham.
