About the series
Jim Starlin and Berni Wrightson teamed up for this dark, four-issue DC miniseries from 1988, a feverish and unflinching story that pits Batman against a charismatic cult leader who has turned Gotham's homeless population into a fanatical army. Wrightson's lush, horror-infused artwork lends a haunting, almost gothic texture to the narrative, while Starlin's script pushes the Caped Crusader to his psychological and physical limits in a city turned upside down. A potent blend of street-level vigilante drama and supernatural dread, Batman: The Cult remains a singular, chilling entry in the Dark Knight's history.
