The Batman's Grave

In The Batman's Grave, writer Warren Ellis and artist Bryan Hitch bring a grounded, almost procedural intensity to the Dark Knight's world, published by DC Comics through Dark Dragon Books. Running for four issues beginning in 2021, this series strips Batman down to his core as a detective and a creature of obsession, with Hitch’s hyper-detailed, cinematic art capturing every shadow and scar. It matters as a taut, self-contained story from two celebrated creators, offering a concentrated dose of what makes the character endure—his relentless logic and his haunted humanity.
