Batman: Damned first arrived in stores with its debut issue back in October 2018. The controversial first issue sparked the now infamous Bat-c**k story online and almost derailed the future of the dark tale.
Now the full three-issue series, written by Brian Azarello, is returning to stores in a hardback, collected edition and DC Comics has released a new trailer to go alongside it.
When The Joker’s body washes up on the shores of Gotham River, Batman searches for the killer of his archnemesis. But the World’s Greatest Detective can’t remember what happened the previous night, so he turns to John Constantine, the Hellblazer, for help. The problem is that as much as Constantine loves a good mystery, he loves messing with people’s heads even more. But what other choice does Batman have? The duo dive deep into the sordid underbelly of Gotham in a race to uncover the truth.
As Batman continues to dig into this mystery, his psyche begins to unravel, sending him into an existential crisis. Is it possible that he himself committed this brutal crime? Bruce Wayne’s traumatic past comes to light, revealing his horrifying supernatural connection to the demonic Enchantress, who continues to terrorize Batman to this day. Will Batman be able to crack this enigmatic case, or will he lose his mind and soul along the way?
This new hardcover volume from DC’s Black Label imprint collects Batman: Damned #1-3 and features a behind-the-scenes extras gallery with an afterword by Brian Azzarello.
Batman: Damned returns to store in a new, collected hardback on September 10, 2019.
