Batman - Damned

In 2019, DC Comics’ Black Label imprint launched Batman: Damned, a prestige horror-infused miniseries written by Brian Azzarello with haunting painted art by Lee Bermejo. The story follows a psychologically fractured Batman investigating the Joker’s apparent murder, with supernatural undertones and an unflinching adult tone. Though initially planned as a longer run, only the first issue was released in the Urban Comics edition, making it a brief but visually arresting entry in the Black Label line. It stands out for Bermejo’s visceral, cinematic artwork and its bold, mature approach to the Dark Knight mythos.
