12 Comic Books to Get in the Mood for Batman: Caped Crusader
The new Prime series returns to the Dark Knight’s noirish origins.
Batman #1 not only features the arrival (and momentary death) of the Joker but the first appearance of Catwoman and the return of Hugo Strange, the mad doctor who’s now resorted to experimenting on asylum patients and turning them into hulking monsters. The dual arrival of Batman and Captain James Gordon (who also stars in Caped Crusader as a beleaguered champion of hope in a failing system) proves there is some good to be found amid the moral detritus, however complicated it may be. The world of Caped Crusader has many narrative threads, ranging from Batman’s life, to the trials faced by the Gotham City Police Department, to the evolution of his ridiculous foes and the mobster-laden streets that they pour into.
