Batman: Damned - Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition

DC's 2019 prestige-format one-shot Batman: Damned — this Barnes & Noble exclusive edition — pairs writer Brian Azzarello with artist Lee Bermejo for a grim, supernatural-tinged story starring the Dark Knight. Set outside main continuity, the tale follows a wounded, hallucinating Batman as he navigates a haunting mystery involving the Joker's death. Bermejo's hyper-detailed, shadow-drenched artwork and Azzarello's noir-inflected script make this a striking, atmospheric entry in the publisher's line of mature-reader graphic novels.
