Batman - Le Culte #[nn]
In "Le culte chapitre 1 : supplice," Batman and Robin fight to survive as Deacon Blackfire's army of the homeless overwhelms Gotham, forcing the National Guard to retreat and the governor to order evacuation—yet half the city refuses to leave. With barricades holding back the tide and Batman still reeling from his ordeal, Robin pleads for help while the Dark Knight prepares to abandon Gotham for good. Written by Jim Starlin and Jean-Marc Lainé, with haunting art by Bernie Wrightson and vivid colors by Bill Wray, this pivotal issue delivers a tense, atmospheric descent into chaos, its cover by Wrightson capturing the dread in every shadow.
In "Le culte chapitre 2 : capture," Batman, freed from Deacon Blackfire’s mind-altering influence, returns to his lair only to be captured by the diacre’s men—men who quickly realize they can’t break his will. Ordered to execute him, Batman escapes, vanishing into Gotham’s sewers, where Robin finds him seated atop a mound of corpses, silent and resolute.
In "Le culte chapitre 3 : évasion," Robin helps Batman escape a crumbling Gotham, where the hero is still reeling from a harrowing ordeal and struggles to fight. As Blackfire’s army of homeless followers pushes back the National Guard and the governor calls for evacuation, half the city refuses to leave—now barricaded and defiant. With the streets no longer safe, Batman makes a quiet, final decision: they’re leaving Gotham for good.
In "Le culte chapitre 4 : combat," Batman confronts the core of his identity as he battles Deacon Blackfire in a brutal test of will and strength. With Robin at his side, Batman faces the cult leader not just as a warrior, but as a man reckoning with the fear that first forged him.
