Gotham Central

A four-issue miniseries from BB/Art Komiks, Gotham Central (2016–2020) shifts the focus from caped crusaders to the detectives of the GCPD's Major Crimes Unit, exploring the gritty, procedural side of Gotham City. This series grounds its superhero-adjacent world in the daily grind of police work, where officers solve cases that often brush against the city's costumed underworld without necessarily donning a cape themselves. Its concise run offers a tight, character-driven look at the human cost of crime-fighting in a city defined by its iconic vigilantes.
