Bat-Man - First Knight

In 2024, Urban Comics launched Bat-Man - First Knight, a prestige series that reimagines the Dark Knight's earliest days through a noir-infused, historically grounded lens. Written by Dan Jurgens and Jérôme Wicky with moody, atmospheric art by Mike Perkins, this one-issue debut strips Batman back to his pulp roots, presenting a grittier, more vulnerable Caped Crusader in a 1930s Gotham. It matters as a fresh, standalone take on the character's origin, blending classic detective storytelling with modern sensibilities for a new generation of readers.
