Dan Jurgens and Mike Perkins team for DC Black Label’s The Bat-Man: First Knight
The Bat-Man: First Knight is a three issue prestige series being published by DC Black Label from writer Dan Jurgens and art by Mike Perkins kicking off in March 2024. The story is inspired by some of the Dark Knight’s earliest cases but updated for modern times.
The year is 1939. The world, still reeling from the horrors of the First World War, is on the brink of tipping into an even more gruesome conflict, as fascism is on the march—and gathering strength in America’s darkest corners. Against this backdrop, a series of violent murders has begun in Gotham, and the recent emergence of the mysterious vigilante known as The Bat-Man has the power brokers of the city living in fear of institutional collapse. All of the evidence in the murder investigation defies logic: the perpetrators are all men who died in the electric chair. But when the Bat-Man comes face to face with one of these sickening anomalies, he barely escapes with his life—throwing into question his ability to survive in a world that is brutally evolving around him!
The Bat-Man: First Knight #1 comes to shops on March 5, 2024 with a main cover by Mike Perkins and variant covers by Ramon Perez and Jacob Phillips. Marc Aspinall provides a “pulp novel” style variant cover.
