Part of DC's 1996 "Legends of the Dead Earth" annual event, this issue imagines a far-future Batman astride a massive reptilian creature, sword raised triumphantly while armored figures loom in the smoky background — a striking medieval-meets-sci-fi vision rendered with cover pencils by Brian Apthorp and inks by P. Craig Russell. The "King Batman" story within is brought to life by writer Alan Grant and artist Brian Apthorp, promising a bold reimagining of the Dark Knight legend transplanted to a dying world. It's a compelling snapshot of 1996 DC at its most imaginatively expansive.
