In this six-issue 2006–2007 DC miniseries, writer and artist Matt Wagner revisits the Dark Knight’s early years with a moody, gothic thriller. Batman faces a sinister cult led by the enigmatic Monk, a figure whose supernatural menace tests the fledgling hero’s resolve. Wagner’s distinctive, shadow-drenched art and atmospheric storytelling make this a standout chapter in the Batman mythos, bridging pulp horror and detective noir.
