BATMAN: GARGOYLE OF GOTHAM Gets Stunning Cover Art and Preview Art

DC Comics has released some covers and previews for its upcoming four-issue comic series Batman: Gargoyles of Gotham. As you’ll see, it looks like it’s going to be great. I love the art that I see and it comes from writer and artist Raphael Grampa.

This is part of the DC Dawn of DC initiative which features creative teams revamping and reinventing some of DC’s beloved heroes and villains for a new era. This new series of comics will be published under the publisher’s Adult Black Label and it looks like it will tell a fantastical and dark story that has Batman hunting down a serial killer.

Batman: Gargoyles of Gotham follows “a Gotham City where each day seems darker and more irredeemable than the last, Batman makes an ultimate choice: to permanently discard the Bruce Wayne identity and embrace the cape and cowl full-time. But while he knows the streets of Gotham, Batman will soon discover that he barely knows himself. A serial killer is on the loose, and while the murder victims seem random at first, every clue brings Batman closer to the terrifying truth: that they’re all connected, not just to each other, but to him as well. When an all-new gallery of utterly depraved thieves begins to emerge from the depths of the city, Batman will have to contend with the very nature of evil, including that which lurks in the darkest corners of his heart, to face what is coming to the city. which he swore to protect.”

Grampá previously said in a statement, “When his origin was introduced in Batman #1 in the 1940s, Bruce Wayne swore vengeance on the spirits of his murdered parents and, prompted by his belief in an omen, became Batman.” For me, this subtle aspect of Bruce’s belief system has always been the very core of Batman, and through that lens I recognized this untold story.Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham explores “who he is and why he became.” my dream to bring my interpretation of Batman to life as I delve into the darkest corners of his essence. I sincerely hope readers enjoy it.”

The first issue of Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham will be released on Batman Day on September 16. Variant covers for Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham #1 will be provided by Jim Lee, Franco MillerAND David Finchwith a 1 in 50 variant cover of Priscilla Petraitesand a 1 in 100 variant cover of Paul Pope.
