About this Collection

This collected edition brings together the three-issue miniseries The Bat-Man: First Knight, a pulp-infused reimagining of Batman's earliest adventures set in 1939. Written by Jeff Lemire with art by Nick Bradshaw, the story follows a younger, more brutal Dark Knight as he investigates a series of bizarre murders in Gotham City, blending classic detective noir with supernatural undertones. The volume includes the complete story arc and behind-the-scenes material.

In this pivotal issue of The Bat-Man: First Knight, Bruce Wayne’s growing bond with Julie takes a dramatic turn as she uncovers his secret identity. With Gotham under siege by the deadly Monster Men—agents of the enigmatic Voice plotting to seize control by eliminating the city’s leaders—Batman must confront both a personal crisis and a rising tide of violence. Written by Dan Jurgens and brought to life with striking detail by Mike Perkins on art and inks, plus Mike Spicer’s atmospheric colors and Simon Bowland’s crisp lettering, this issue marks a defining moment in Bruce’s journey. The cover by Mike Perkins captures the tension perfectly.
