Summary As the publisher that launched the Golden Age of Comics and the superhero genre itself, DC Comics has produced some of the most iconic heroes in print, such as Batman and Superman. With almost ninety years of stories behind it, the publisher continues to release some of the medium's greatest stories. These can be found in a variety of formats and lengths, from years-long creative teams to shorter arcs.
Related Wonder Woman Betrays Earth in DC's War of the Gods In a dark version of one of her greatest victories, Wonder Woman is corrupted and set against Earth's heroes as deities clash in the War of the Gods. 8 Batman: White Knight Sean Gordon Murphy and Matt Hollingsworth Close Sean Gordon Murphy's Batman work has been defined through his White Knight universe, which began with the 2017 series of the same name. The story follows Joker as, after being force-fed psychotropic drugs by Batman, he reverts to his regular self, Jack Napier. Now determined to rid Gotham of vigilantism and lawlessness, Napier runs for public office and makes the Caped Crusader public enemy number one.
The "Public Enemies" arc stands out as a great, self-contained story, one that casts the World's Finest as outlaws, fighting to save the world and standing against the corruption of Luthor. Considering the stellar success of the current World's Finest series, it's more than worth reading this modern classic of a team-up.
Related Who is DC’s The Question, And How Did He Inspire Watchmen’s Rorschach? Before Rorschach, there was The Question - a character dating back to the Silver Age of comics who is still relevant in modern DC canon. 4 The Dark Knight Returns Frank Miller, Klaus Janson and Lynn Varley Close The Dark Knight Returns takes place in a near-future Gotham City, where the Mutant Gang terrorizes residents in an unprecedented crime wave. In response, an aged Bruce Wayne comes out of retirement as Batman, putting on his cape and cowl to take matters into his own hands. Seeing the return of the hero, a teen named Carrie Kelly turns herself into the city's new Robin, aiding the Caped Crusader.
Batman: The Cult is a great psychological thriller, one that tests the limits of Batman's psyche and explores the impact of trauma on the hero. For readers who enjoy the darker side of Gotham and like seeing The Dark Knight pushed to his limits, it doesn't get much better than this four-issue miniseries.
