Batman - Damned

This German-language prestige format series from Panini Deutschland, launched in 2021, reimagines the Batman mythos through a dark, supernatural lens. Written and illustrated by a single, unnamed creative team, the single-issue story stands as a self-contained, mature-readers tale that strips the Dark Knight down to his most vulnerable state. Its significance lies in being a bold, standalone European take on the character, offering a dense, atmospheric horror-noir experience distinct from the mainline DC output.
