About the series
A two-issue prestige-format tie-in from DC, this series adapts Tim Burton's 1989 blockbuster film into comics form. Scripted by screenwriter Sam Hamm alongside legendary Batman writer Dennis O'Neil, with lush painted art by Jerry Ordway, it offers a faithful, cinematic visual translation of the movie's gothic vision. While a direct adaptation, it stands as a notable artifact of the era's synergy between film and comics.
