Batman: Dark Allegiances #[nn]

This Elseworlds tale reimagines Batman in a 1930s setting, blending the Dark Knight's origins with the gritty atmosphere of the Great Depression. Written and illustrated by Howard Chaykin, the story follows a young Bruce Wayne as he dons a more brutal, pulp-inspired costume to fight crime in a Gotham City rife with corruption and social unrest. The collection presents the complete four-issue miniseries, offering a standalone, alternate-universe take on the character outside mainstream DC continuity.
