Batman: Son of the Demon

In this 1987 DC graphic novel, writer Mike W. Barr and artist Jerry Bingham craft a pivotal, standalone story that deepens the Batman mythos. The narrative explores an unexpected alliance between Batman and Ra’s al Ghul, leading to a personal and world-altering consequence that would resonate through later comics. A key influence on future storylines, Batman: Son of the Demon remains a significant, character-driven tale from the late Bronze Age.
