📘 Series Summary

Superstar writer Chip Zdarsky (Daredevil) and acclaimed artist Carmine Di Giandomenico present the definitive modern look at Bruce Wayne's transformative years in Batman: The Knight. While many stories focus on the night the Waynes died or the moment Bruce donned the cowl, this 10-issue Limited Series chronicles the "story in between." It follows a young, angry, and damaged Bruce Wayne as he travels the globe to seek out the masters of every discipline required to become the World's Greatest Detective.

From the rooftops of Paris with a world-class cat burglar to the frozen mountains of North Korea and the espionage hubs of Moscow, Bruce pushes his body and mind to their absolute breaking points. Along the way, he encounters legendary figures like Henri Ducard, Master Kirigi, and the stage magician Zatara. This journey is not just about physical training; it is a fraught psychological journey where Bruce makes his first allies and deadliest enemies, ultimately leading him to a final exam against The Demon's Head, Ra's al Ghul.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • Written by Chip Zdarsky, serving as a foundational prologue to his acclaimed run on the main Batman ongoing title.
  • Features Carmine Di Giandomenico's sleek, kinetic artwork that captures the international scope of Bruce’s training.
  • A modern retelling of Batman’s "training years," expanding on concepts first introduced in Batman: Year One and The Man Who Falls.
  • Explores Bruce’s early relationship with a young Zatanna and his introduction to the world of escapism and magic.
  • Introduces "The Foundling," a terrifying serial killer who serves as Bruce's first true test of detective skill.
  • Boasts a massive variant cover gallery featuring industry giants like Greg Capullo, Riccardo Federici, and Rafael Albuquerque.
