Year One: Batman/Ra's Al Ghul

In this 2006 one-shot from Play Press, writer Devin K. Grayson and artist Paul Gulacy re-examine the first fateful meeting between Batman and the immortal eco-terrorist Ra's al Ghul. Rather than a full series, this single issue offers a self-contained origin story for their complex rivalry, exploring the clash of philosophies that would define their decades-long conflict. It stands as a focused, character-driven entry from a celebrated creative team.
