Gotham Central

In the mid-2010s, Panini Deutschland collected the acclaimed Gotham Central series for a German-language edition, running six issues. This crime drama shifts the spotlight from Batman to the detectives of the GCPD's Major Crimes Unit, exploring the gritty, human side of policing a city plagued by super-crime. Written by Greg Rucka and Ed Brubaker, with art by Michael Lark, the series is celebrated for its grounded, noir-inflected take on Gotham City. It remains a defining example of how to tell compelling superhero-adjacent stories from an ordinary, mortal perspective.
