Meet Bruce Wayne, Gotham’s favorite delinquent son. In an origin story like no other and set against the backdrop of actual historical events, witness the boy become a dark knight shaped by a city in turmoil as it marches towards its prophesied doom!

Batman makes a definitive choice to kill off the Bruce Wayne identity for good and embrace the cowl full-time. But when an all-new rogues gallery of utterly depraved villains begins to emerge from the depths of the city, Batman will have to contend with the very nature of evil.

The year is 1939. The world is on the brink of tipping into war, as fascism is on the march and gathering strength in America’s darkest corners. Against this backdrop, the recent emergence of the mysterious vigilante known as The Bat-Man has Gotham City's power brokers living in fear of institutional collapse!

This new anthology series—with tales from Mitch Gerads & Tom King, Christopher Cantwell & Javier Rodriguez, Dan Mora, and others—features the Dark Knight facing the Joker for the first time, Stormwatch picking up the pieces from the defunct Justice League, and more!
