About the series
In this grim alternate timeline from DC’s Flashpoint event, Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso reimagine the Dark Knight as a brutal, gun-wielding vigilante—a Thomas Wayne who lost his son Bruce to alley violence instead. Set in a Gotham warped by a fractured reality, this three-issue miniseries explores a colder, more ruthless Batman, with Risso’s shadowy, noir-infused art perfectly matching Azzarello’s hard-boiled storytelling. A standout chapter of the Flashpoint saga, it matters for its stark, emotional twist on the Batman mythos and the creative team’s signature crime-comics sensibility.
