Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham

In this 2015 DC elseworlds tale, writer Mike Mignola (with Richard Pace) and artist Troy Nixey reimagine the Dark Knight in a 1920s pulp-horror setting, blending Batman’s detective grit with Lovecraftian cosmic dread. The single-issue story pits a weary Bruce Wayne against an ancient, otherworldly evil unleashed in Gotham, merging Mignola’s signature supernatural sensibility with the Caped Crusader’s mythos. It stands as a cult-favorite, atmospheric one-shot that showcases a unique, chilling take on the character outside mainstream continuity.
