📘 Series Summary

The legendary creative team of Doug Moench and Kelley Jones reunite for a gothic, horror-infused 5-issue Limited Series that pits the Dark Knight against a terrifying new threat. Gotham City is being plagued by a series of unexplained, gruesome murders committed by a "meat-man"—a skinless entity that seems to vanish into thin air. Batman soon discovers he is hunting a twisted variation of the Invisible Man, a villain who utilizes a serum that grants invisibility at the cost of one's sanity.

True to the Moench/Jones aesthetic, the series is filled with distorted shadows, surrealist landscapes, and high-stakes psychological drama. As the villainous Dr. Glass sets his sights on Bruce Wayne, Batman is forced to take desperate measures, including using the invisibility serum on himself to level the playing field. This run is a must-read for fans of the duo’s iconic 1990s Batman run, offering a self-contained "Elseworlds-style" feel within the main continuity that emphasizes the Dark Knight’s role as the world’s greatest—and most haunted—detective.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • The grand reunion of Doug Moench and Kelley Jones, the team behind some of the most visually distinct Batman stories in history.
  • Introduces a new, horrific addition to the rogues' gallery: The Invisible Man (Dr. Glass).
  • Features Kelley Jones' signature art style, known for its exaggerated proportions and haunting, gothic atmosphere.
  • A high-stakes finale (#5) that sees Batman becoming invisible to battle his foe, risking his own mental stability.
  • A twice-monthly release schedule during its original run, creating a fast-paced, cinematic reading experience.
  • Perfect for fans of Batman: Vampire and other horror-centric Dark Knight tales.
