Batman: Holy Terror

In this 1991 DC one-shot, writer Alan Brennert and artist Norm Breyfogle present an alternate-history Batman story set in a world where the American Revolution never happened. The Dark Knight operates as a vigilante in a totalitarian, church-dominated society, forced to confront a system where the state and religion are one. Though a single issue, it stands as a provocative, standalone Elseworlds tale that reimagines the core of Batman’s crusade against injustice.
