Batman: Ego & Other Tails

In 2007, DC Comics released this single-issue prestige story from the singular Darwyn Cooke, who both wrote and painted the entire work. The series is a psychologically intense, character-driven exploration of Batman’s own psyche, as he confronts a physical embodiment of his inner demons in a stark, expressionistic style. It stands as a landmark, self-contained Batman tale, showcasing Cooke's distinctive, retro-modern artistry and his deep understanding of the character’s core conflict.
