Debuting in 1989, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight put Batman in the hands of some of the most talented writers and artists in comics, such as Denny O’Neil, Grant Morrison, Ed Hannigan, Mike W. Barr, Doug Moench, José Luis Garcia-López, Klaus Janson, and others. Their efforts yielded unforgettable story arcs for comic book fans, such as “Shaman,” “Prey,” which redefined the evil and twisted Dr. Hugo Strange, “Gothic,” and “Venom,” the story that introduced the dangerous super steroid to a Santa Prisca prison inmate who would later be known as Bane.
On April 2nd, this influential anthology returns as a new DC Digital First series, Legends of the Dark Knight.
This is not going to be available here on April 2nd, right? This is for purchase on other platforms that day and will be on here three months later - is that correct?
I’m a simple man, I see Batman stories – especially stories by big name people like Derrik Robinson – and I check them out.
That reminds me of something I’m wondering – so does this mean this is when they’ll be on DCUI, or will it come here after a certain amount of time, like they did with previous digital series like Harley Quinn Black + White + Red?
Bat news is always good news. Especially when we get art like this! I hope the stories are just as good. That image with all the different Batmen is just… Groovy
Looks like I have something to add to my reading list before April 2nd: All 219 issues of Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight. They may have been released over the course of 21 years but thanks to DC Universe Infinite I can binge read them over the next seven weeks.
Let’s see…219 divided by seven weeks is 31 books per week divided by seven days is four or five books a day. No sweat!
I will check that out once I get done with the first four arcs. I just finished Shaman, Books #1-5, and will continue tomorrow. Good stuff and I like this origin of Batman a lot so far.
always up for more Bats
This is where I’m at with this news.
