Gotham City: Year One

In Gotham City: Year One (2023–present, DC), writer Tom King and artist Phil Hester rewind the clock to explore a pivotal, formative moment in the city’s history, long before its iconic heroes emerged. This six-issue series delves into the gritty, noir-tinged origins of Gotham itself, centering on a private eye caught in a web of corruption and violence that will shape the metropolis for generations. A compelling, character-driven crime saga, it adds a fresh, grounded layer to the Batman mythos by focusing on the city’s own dark genesis.
