Batman in Noir Alley #1
In "Gotham Noir," Batman leaves Gotham behind for a gritty detour to San Francisco, drawn by the mysterious disappearance of the Moroccan Raptor—a statue that inspired a classic film noir. When a projectionist is found dead, Batman teams up with Eddie Muller, the self-proclaimed czar of noir, to unravel a case steeped in shadows and old Hollywood secrets. Written by Stuart Moore and illustrated by Valentine De Landro, with colors by Steve Buccellato and letters by Pat Brosseau, the issue’s cover by Dan Panosian captures the smoky allure of a bygone era.
