Batman: Dark Knight, Dark City

In this 2015 one-shot from DC, Peter Milligan and Kieron Dwyer craft a dense, atmospheric Batman thriller that plunges the Dark Knight into a web of occult mystery and psychological horror. The story pits the Caped Crusader against the Riddler in a sinister game involving ancient rituals and the dark foundations of Gotham City itself. A concise but potent addition to the Batman mythos, it showcases Milligan's signature surreal edge and Dwyer's gritty, expressive storytelling.
