Tales from the Dark Multiverse: Batman: Knightfall #1
In *Tales from the Dark Multiverse: Batman: Knightfall* #1, writer Scott Snyder and Kyle Higgins dive into a grim alternate Gotham where Jean-Paul Valley, now Saint Batman, rules as a tyrant after defeating Bruce Wayne in a final, brutal clash. With Gotham severed from the world and Bruce imprisoned as a head and torso, his son Tourne and the warrior Shiva seek to overthrow Jean-Paul—but they’ll need the one man who knows the truth: the man who once was Batman. Javier Fernández’s striking art and Alex Guimarães’ moody colors bring this fractured world to life, while Lee Weeks’ cover captures the eerie, relentless gravity of a city under siege.
