In "Dark Genesis!", Gotham City faces a chilling new guardian in the form of Simon Petrarch, a Batman who rejects the no-kill code and embraces a darker, more ruthless justice. Written by John Ostrander and illustrated by Flint Henry and Mike McKone, this pivotal issue explores the unsettling shift in Gotham’s protector with a stark, grounded intensity. The cover by Dick Sprang captures the brooding presence of this new Batman, setting a tone of unease from the first glance.
