Batman: Last Knight on Earth #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeBatman: 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.
In "Part One: The Cave," Batman—now a patient at Arkham Asylum—wakes from a gunshot wound to learn he’s been living a delusion: for two decades, he’s believed himself to be the Dark Knight, but in reality, he’s been trapped in a fantasy born of trauma. The line between truth and madness blurs as the world he thought he protected may never have existed at all.
In "Part Two: The Right Hand," Bruce awakens with his cowl restored, breaking free from Arkham Asylum to face Alfred with a revelation that reshapes everything. As Batman emerges into a desolate desert, he discovers the living, preserved head of the Joker sealed within a jar—its eyes open, its voice a whisper from the past.
In "Part Three: The Asylum," Batman and the Joker navigate the ruined landscape of Coast City, where remnants of a past battle have left the city in ruins. As they’re ambushed by Green Lantern ring energy constructs, their unlikely journey takes an unexpected turn when Vixen and Poison Ivy intervene to save them.
In "Part Four: Echolocation," Bruce Wayne awakens in the shattered remains of the Hall of Justice, where Wonder Woman is rallying a new generation of Amazons to defend Earth’s last survivors. As Diana recounts how Luthor’s schemes unraveled the world’s trust in heroes—and how even villains were ultimately betrayed—Bruce reveals a shocking truth: he is a clone of the original Batman, a secret he learned from Alfred. Though he pleads with Diana to join the fight against the rising threat of Omega, she remains hesitant, leaving the path ahead uncertain.
In the ruins of a broken Gotham, Batman grapples with a chilling revelation: the dead boy in the alley bears the face of Joe Chill’s son. With the Joker at his side, he pushes deeper into the wasteland toward the forgotten Fortress of Solitude, chasing a fragile hope. Meanwhile, in the city’s shadow, Alfred faces a brutal ambush from Bane, Scarecrow, and Omega—forces that won’t let the past stay buried.
In "Part Six: The Miracle," Batman confronts Lex Luthor’s chilling scheme to resurrect Superman, learning the truth behind the hero’s demise. As Bane, Scarecrow, and a twisted Superman duplicate assault them, Wonder Woman arrives to save the day—leading Batman and the Joker on a journey to the underworld, where the spirits of fallen heroes await.
In "Part Eight: The Signal," Batman reconnects with his former allies from the Court of Owls as they stand against Omega’s growing dominance over Gotham. With the city on the brink, Bruce rallies them for one last desperate attempt to break Omega’s hold.
In "Part Nine: P.O.W." from Batman: Last Knight on Earth, Batman and the Joker face off against Omega at Wayne Tower, where the Dark Knight uncovers the shocking truth behind his enemy’s identity. Meanwhile, on Arkham Island, Dick, Barbara, Duke, and Bryce battle a wave of Arkham villains, while Wonder Woman races to free Martian Manhunter—whose mind is being used to amplify Omega’s grip on Gotham.
In the quiet aftermath of Omega’s fall, Batman, Wonder Woman, and even the Joker stand together as a mysterious rocket descends from another time and dimension—its cargo a newborn Kal-El. The arrival sets off a chain of questions, but the real mystery isn’t just where he came from, or why now, but what this child means for a world still healing.
