About this Collection

This volume collects issues #1006-1011 of the 2020 'Detective Comics' series, following Batman as he confronts a new iteration of the Arkham Knight. The storyline delves into the Knight's mysterious identity and their connection to Gotham's underworld, with Peter J. Tomasi scripting and art by Brad Walker and others.

In "Medieval," Batman travels to Europe after reports surface of the Reaper—thought to be dead—resurfacing to mete out brutal justice to criminals. Written by Peter J. Tomasi and brought to life by artists Travis Moore and Max Raynor, with colors by Tamra Bonvillain and Nick Filardi, this issue blends noir tension with a haunting, medieval-inspired aesthetic. The cover by Brad Walker and Andrew Hennessy captures the grim, foreboding tone of a legend reborn.
