The Darkness vs. Batman

In this 2008 one-shot from Infinity Verlag, the supernatural mob enforcer Jackie Estacado, wielding the primordial power of the Darkness, clashes with the Dark Knight in a crossover that pits occult crime against Gotham's vigilante justice. Written with a focus on the stark contrast between Batman's disciplined, high-tech arsenal and the raw, otherworldly force of the Darkness, the issue explores a single, high-stakes confrontation. While brief, this standalone comic stands as a unique meeting of two very different pulp and horror traditions.
