About the series
In 2022, DC published Batman: Killing Time, a six-issue miniseries from writer Tom King and artist David Marquez that reimagines the Dark Knight’s early years as a tense, cinematic crime thriller. The story follows a high-stakes heist gone wrong, with Batman pursuing a mysterious artifact across Gotham’s underworld while the clock ticks toward a brutal confrontation. King and Marquez deliver a sleek, propulsive narrative that strips the Bat-mythos to its essentials, emphasizing action and psychological tension over sprawling continuity. It’s a taut, standalone entry in Batman’s modern canon, showcasing the creative team’s flair for tight, character-driven suspense.
