Bat-Man: First Knight

In 2024–2025, Panini Deutschland presented Bat-Man: First Knight, a three-issue series that reimagines the Dark Knight’s earliest adventures. Written by Dan Jurgens and Ralph Kruhm with moody, atmospheric art by Mike Perkins, the story follows a young Bruce Wayne, newly returned to Gotham, as he and Commissioner Gordon confront a chilling mystery that will define his war on crime. This compact, noir-tinged take strips Batman back to his pulp roots, offering a fresh entry point for readers curious about the character’s foundational years.
