With its dark, atmospheric visuals and gripping narrative, this story redefined the boundaries of Batman's world.
The saga continues with Master of the Future, a thrilling sequel where Batman contends with a deranged prophet seeking to halt Gotham's evolution into the 20th century. Both stories deliver a unique blend of gothic aesthetics and superhero intrigue.
