The Arkham Knight

A dark new legend born in the milestone pages of Detective Comics #1000, the Arkham Knight arrived in 2019 courtesy of the legendary Paul Dini and Dustin Nguyen — a fitting creative pedigree for a character steeped in Gotham's most gothic mythology. This Modern Age creation haunts the shadows alongside Batman, Robin, Bruce Wayne, and Alfred Pennyworth, with the enigmatic Astrid Arkham never far from the story's heart. With appearances spanning into Future State: The Next Batman, the Arkham Knight carries the weight of Gotham's darkest legacy into tomorrow. Seven catalog appearances may be a compact footprint, but debuting in one of DC's most celebrated landmark issues guarantees this character a place in any serious modern Bat-collection.
