The Bat-Man: Second Knight #1

DC Black Label's The Bat-Man: Second Knight opens with a cover that evokes the smoky atmosphere of classic noir — a glamorous red-haired woman dominates the foreground, while a caped, cowled Bat-Man looms behind her alongside a cast of shadowy figures, suited men, and a determined woman in a trench coat, all rendered in Mike Perkins and Mike Spicer's richly atmospheric palette of purples, golds, and muted creams. Dan Jurgens crafts the story while Perkins's artwork leans into a period-pulp aesthetic that feels both intimate and expansive. This first book promises a darkly stylish take on Gotham's guardian that fans of crime fiction and superhero drama alike will want on their shelves.
