While the era around “Year One” has been exhaustively mined, The Knight‘s nimble debut presents Batman’s evolution in a clever new light that's worth a look, even for the most seasoned Batman fans. The art team amplifies that feeling even more by keeping the young Wayne covered in shadow or otherwise isolated from the world around him. Although The Knight sees Wayne face one of his future villains, the book’s sharp script leans into the latent horror baked into Wayne’s transformation.
In the spirit of Batman Begins, this comic dives into the gritty details of how a traumatized Bruce Wayne became the Dark Knight under the disapproving eyes of Alfred.
But with Batman: The Knight #1, Chip Zdarsky, Carmine di Giandomenico, Ivan Plascencia and Pat Brosseau offer a compelling new take on Batman’s evolution by focusing on his extensive early training. Thanks to Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli’s “Batman: Year One” and its many imitators, the early days of the Dark Knight have been chronicled in excruciating detail.
