Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham - The Noir Edition

To save Gotham City... the Batman must kill Bruce Wayne! Eisner Award-winning artist and writer Rafael Grampá presents an all-new vision of the Batman mythos in this brutal and compelling masterwork.

This special ＂Batman Noir＂ edition showcases Rafael Grampá’s stunning artwork in vivid, uncolored black-and-white.

When you chase your own shadow... it leads you into the abyss. In a Gotham City where every day feels darker and more irredeemable than the last, Batman makes a definitive choice--to kill off the Bruce Wayne identity for good and embrace the cowl full-time.

But though he knows the streets of Gotham, Batman will soon come to find that he hardly knows himself. A serial killer is on the loose, and while the murder victims seem random at first, every clue draws Batman closer to the terrifying truth: that they are all connected, not just to each other, but to him. To decide to kill your past is one thing, but actually doing it proves to be more fraught than Batman ever expected.

When an all-new rogues gallery of utterly depraved villains, including the terrifying Crytoon, begins to emerge from the depths of the city, Batman will have to contend with the very nature of evil--including that which lurks inside in the darkest corners of his own heart--to face what’s coming for his city.

Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham brings Rafael Grampa’s twisted vision of both the Dark Knight and the city of Gotham to life in a DC writing debut that will reach its icy black tendrils into the deepest and darkest corners of human nature and leave you gasping for breath.

This volume collects Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham #1-4.
