Batman: Dark Age

In 2025, DC launched Batman: Dark Age, a series reimagining the Dark Knight’s mythos through a gritty, historical lens. Written by Mark Russell and illustrated by Mike Allred, the series debuted with a single issue that transplants Batman’s origin and early adventures into a 1970s-inspired setting, exploring themes of urban decay and systemic corruption. While still in its infancy, the series stands out for its bold artistic and narrative departure from traditional Batman storytelling, offering a fresh perspective on the character’s timeless struggle.
