Batman Last Knight on Earth #1

In "De grot," Batman—struggling with the aftermath of a young boy's death—wakes to find himself a patient at Arkham Asylum, told he’s been living a delusion for twenty years, that Batman is not real, and that the world he’s known is nothing more than a fantasy. The story unfolds as Bruce Wayne confronts a chilling question: if the world of Gotham is a lie, what does that make the man who fights in it?

In "De rechterhand," Bruce Wayne sheds his cowl to confront Alfred with a truth that shakes their bond, then emerges into a desolate desert to discover the living, jarred head of the Joker—still very much a presence in a world gone mad.

In "Gesticht," Batman and the Joker find themselves stranded in the ruined remains of Coast City, where the lingering fury of a past battle manifests as hostile Green Lantern constructs. Forced to confront the wreckage of their own mythos, they’re unexpectedly saved by Vixen and Poison Ivy—two figures whose presence only deepens the mystery of what this broken world has become.

In "Echolocatie," Bruce Wayne awakens in the ruins of the Hall of Justice, where Wonder Woman is rallying a new generation of Amazons to defend Earth’s last survivors. As he recounts how Lex Luthor turned the world against heroes—and how even villains were ultimately betrayed—Bruce reveals a shocking truth: he is a clone of the original Batman. Though he urges Wonder Woman to join the fight against the rising threat of Omega, she hesitates, leaving the path ahead uncertain.
