Batman - Kaputte Stadt #[nn]

A striking vision of a broken city rendered in dramatic crimson and shadow — Dave Johnson's cover for this 2012 Panini Deutschland edition plunges Batman into a swirling storm of bats and demonic, snarling faces, his silhouette barely holding its own against the chaos surrounding him. Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso bring their signature hard-edged sensibility to "Kaputte Stadt, Teil 1," promising a Gotham story with genuine grit. For fans of dark, atmospheric Batman material, this German-language collection is a compelling place to start.
