About the series
In this two-issue prestige series from French publisher Dargaud, writer/artist Enrico Marini brings a lush, European sensibility to Gotham City. The story follows Batman as he confronts a mysterious new adversary who leaves a trail of cryptic clues tied to the Joker's daughter, a character Marini imbues with tragic complexity. Marini’s painterly, cinematic art—reminiscent of his work on The Scorpion—gives the Dark Knight a brooding, romantic intensity that sets this 2017–2018 miniseries apart from mainstream DC fare. It’s a striking, self-contained tale that showcases how an international creator can reimagine a iconic hero without losing his essential darkness.
