Batman: In Darkest Knight

In this 1994 DC one-shot, writer Mike W. Barr and artist Jerry Bingham reimagine the Dark Knight’s origin through a cosmic lens, fusing the mythos of Batman with the power of a Green Lantern ring. The story presents a pivotal “what if” scenario, exploring how Bruce Wayne’s crusade might have evolved had he been chosen by the Guardians of the Universe instead of Hal Jordan. A standalone Elseworlds tale, it’s a striking, self-contained experiment in superhero fusion that remains a cult curiosity for fans of both characters.
