Batman: Gotham Knights – Gilded City #1

Batman's cowled profile dominates this striking opener, rendered in moody blues and grays by cover penciler Greg Capullo and inker Jonathan Glapion, with Gotham City's skyline — a blend of gleaming modern towers and gaslit older architecture — stretching out beneath him. The juxtaposition of those two distinct eras of Gotham in the background hints at the time-spanning scope this six-issue series promises. Writer Evan Narcisse and artist Abel kick things off with "Limited Editions," and if this brooding, atmospheric cover is any indication, Gilded City has a genuinely compelling vision of the Dark Knight's city to explore.
