Batman: Dark Patterns

Four self-contained, street-level and timeless Batman mysteries explore the early days of Batman's role in Gotham City and his healing presence on the streets. Batman: Dark Patterns is a grounded, mystery-driven series that mirrors the tone and style of classics like The Long Halloween, Dark Victory and Hush.

Written by Dan Watters and featuring artwork by Hayden Sherman, each three-part story arc presents a standalone detective case that delves deeply into the trauma and transformation of the people and cityscape of Gotham. The focus is on Batman's role as a methodical sleuth and shadowy symbol of hope.

• Early phase of Batman's career
