Legends of the Dark Knight – DC Comics – 2021–2022 – Volume 2 – #1–8

📘 Series Summary

Revived for a new generation, Legends of the Dark Knight (Volume 2) returns to the prestige anthology format that made the original 1989 series a cornerstone of Batman mythology. Launched as a digital-first initiative before coming to print, this 8-issue run features standalone, self-contained stories from some of the industry’s most creative voices. The series allows creators to play with different eras of Batman’s history, focusing on the detective and horror elements that define the character’s most "evergreen" tales.

The series kicked off with the three-part epic "Bad Night, Good Knight," written and illustrated by The Boys co-creator Darick Robertson. This gritty crime drama pits Batman against a mysterious new chemical supplier arming the likes of The Joker, Mr. Freeze, and The Penguin. Other highlights include Stephanie Phillips delving into a 100-year-old Gotham cold case, Becky Cloonan taking on a possessed Solomon Grundy, and a globe-trotting mission to Rome featuring Azrael. Like its predecessor, this volume is a showcase for diverse artistic styles and tight, character-focused storytelling.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • Features the long-awaited return of the anthology format, focusing on high-quality, self-contained narratives.
  • Showcases the gritty, hyper-detailed art of Darick Robertson in a rare turn as both writer and penciller for Batman.
  • Introduces Quiz (#3), the Riddler’s latest partner, adding a new layer to Edward Nygma’s tactical games.
  • Explores unconventional team-ups, including Batman working with Martian Manhunter to stop a Martian-themed Calendar Man cult (#5).
  • Includes a vibrant horror double-feature (#6), with stories focusing on the supernatural side of Slaughter Swamp and Killer Croc.
  • Boasts an incredible roster of Variant Cover artists, including Francesco Francavilla, David Marquez, and Jim Lee.
