Batman - Damned

DC Black Label's Batman: Damned is a three-issue prestige horror series that reimagines the Dark Knight in a grim, supernatural landscape. Written by Brian Azzarello and illustrated by Lee Bermejo, the story follows a brutalized Batman who, after a mysterious death, must navigate a hallucinatory Gotham City where the line between the living and the dead is terrifyingly thin. Originally published in 2019 by DC Comics under their mature-readers Black Label imprint, the series is notable for its unflinching, painted artwork and its controversial, uncensored take on the character. It stands as a key example of the imprint's commitment to creator-driven, adult-oriented Batman stories.
