Batman: Last Knight on Earth #[nn]
Batman: Last Knight on Earth is a standalone Black Label series from writer Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo, presenting a dark, dystopian vision of the DC Universe. The story follows an amnesiac Bruce Wayne who awakens in a post-apocalyptic world, uncovering a twisted mystery involving a decapitated Joker and a strange journey across a broken America. This collected edition gathers all three issues of the 2020 miniseries, offering a complete, self-contained tale that serves as a spiritual finale to Snyder and Capullo's acclaimed Batman run.
In "Part One: The Cave," Bruce Wayne 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 fallen world. As the past unfolds through haunting memories and grim revelations, Bruce confronts the truth about his own origins—learning from Alfred that he is not the original Batman, but a clone forged in the war's aftermath. With the rise of a new, terrifying evil named Omega looming, Bruce pleads with Diana to join the resistance, even as she hesitates. Written by Scott Snyder and brought to life with haunting detail by Greg Capullo, FCO Plascencia, Jonathan Glapion, and Tom Napolitano, the cover by Greg Capullo captures the weight of this final stand.
