Batman - Last Knight on Earth #[nn]
"Chapitre I : la grotte" delivers a haunting, character-driven entry in Scott Snyder and Makma’s Batman: Last Knight on Earth, with Greg Capullo’s striking art and Jonathan Glapion’s sharp inks grounding the story in a ruined Gotham. Bruce Wayne, revealed to be a clone of the original Batman, confronts the shattered remains of the Hall of Justice and a desperate Wonder Woman rallying new Amazons amid the ashes of Earth, as the truth about Luthor’s manipulation and the rise of the enigmatic Omega begins to unfold. Capullo’s cover pencils and inks capture the weight of this fallen world, making this 17,50 EUR 2020 release a must-have for fans of the series’ grim, mythic tone.
In "Chapitre I : la grotte," Batman—still grappling with the death of a young boy—wakes to find himself confined at Arkham Asylum, told he’s been living a delusion for two decades. The line between reality and the fantasy of being Batman begins to fracture as the asylum’s walls feel eerily familiar, and the truth of his existence starts to unravel.
In "Chapitre II : la main droite," Bruce Wayne sheds his cowl once more, breaking free from Arkham Asylum to confront Alfred with a truth that reshapes their bond. Emerging into a desolate desert, Batman stumbles upon a haunting sight: the living head of the Joker, preserved in a jar—its gaze fixed on him, its voice a whisper in the silence.
In "Chapitre III : l'asile," Batman and the Joker find themselves in the ruined remains of Coast City, where the lingering fury of past battles manifests as Green Lantern ring constructs. Forced to confront the wreckage of their shared history, they're unexpectedly saved by Vixen and Poison Ivy—two figures as enigmatic as the chaos surrounding them.
In "Chapitre IV : écholocation," Bruce awakens in the shattered remains of the Hall of Justice, where Wonder Woman is rallying a new generation of Amazons to defend the last survivors of a world that turned on both heroes and villains. As Diana recounts how Lex Luthor’s manipulation led to the fall of civilization and the rise of a new threat named Omega, Bruce reveals a shocking truth—Alfred’s final secret: he is not the original Batman, but a clone. Though he urges Diana to join the fight, she hesitates, leaving the path ahead uncertain.
In "Chapitre V : qui est là ?", Batman grapples with a chilling revelation: the dead boy in the alley is the son of Joe Chill. As he and the Joker journey through the ruins of a post-apocalyptic world toward the Fortress of Solitude, the past weighs heavy and the future remains uncertain. Meanwhile, in the shadowed remains of Gotham, Alfred faces a terrifying trio—Bane, Scarecrow, and Omega—testing his resolve in a city long forgotten.
In "Chapitre VI : le miracle," Batman confronts the chilling truth behind Lex Luthor’s scheme to resurrect Superman, learning the full story of his fall. When Bane, Scarecrow, and a twisted duplicate of the Man of Steel assault them, Wonder Woman intervenes—leading Batman and the Joker on a journey into the underworld, where the spirits of fallen heroes await.
In "Chapitre VIII : le signal," Batman faces the ultimate test as he reunites with former allies—Dick, Barbara, Duke, and Bryce—now part of the Court of Owls, to battle Omega’s stranglehold on Gotham. While the team assaults Arkham Island to dismantle Omega’s network, Wonder Woman races to free Martian Manhunter, whose mind is being used to amplify Omega’s control. At Wayne Tower, Batman confronts the Joker and Omega in a showdown that forces him to uncover the shocking truth behind Omega’s identity.
In the quiet aftermath of Omega's fall, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Joker stand together as a mysterious rocket from another time and dimension crashes to Earth—carrying a newborn Kal-El. The arrival stirs uneasy questions about fate, legacy, and the fragile line between protector and pawn.
