Elseworlds: Batman #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis third volume in DC's Elseworlds: Batman series collects a trio of out-of-continuity tales that reimagine the Dark Knight in alternate settings. Included are Batman: In Darkest Knight, where Bruce Wayne becomes a Green Lantern; Batman: The Blue, the Grey, and the Bat, a Wild West take on the character; and Batman: The Ultimate Evil, a globe-trotting mystery. Each story offers a distinct departure from the classic Batman mythos, showcasing the character's adaptability across different genres and eras.
In "Chapter I: Order for a New World," a young Bruce of Waynesmoor is exiled from England alongside other children when King Arthur enacts a brutal decree. After his family is murdered during their flight, Bruce vows to destroy the tyrants who rule his homeland—Arthur and Morgana—setting the stage for a dark, reimagined origin. Written by Bob Layton and illustrated by Dick Giordano, with inks by Layton and colors by Digital Chameleon, this Elseworlds tale redefines Batman’s beginnings in a haunting, mythic retelling. The cover, a striking collaboration by Eduardo Barreto, Mike Grell, and Bob Layton, captures the story’s foreboding tone.
