Legends of the Dark Knight

DC's Legends of the Dark Knight (1989–1992) offered a gritty, anthology-style take on Batman's early years, with 36 issues that explored the Dark Knight's formative adventures. Anchored by frequent writers Dennis O'Neil, Grant Morrison, and Doug Moench, and artists like Russ Braun, Trevor Von Eeden, and Ed Hannigan, the series became a defining showcase for moody, character-driven storytelling. It deepened the mythos of Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth, and Commissioner Gordon, cementing its place as a cornerstone of Batman's post-Year One era.
