Batman: The Knight (TP)

A city of lights, a young Bruce Wayne—and a brutal test that will forge a legend.

Bruce Wayne travels to Paris seeking purpose and control, training under a mysterious mentor as Gotham’s darkest corners begin to reach across the Atlantic. This first crucible isn’t about justice—it’s about survival and identity in a world that doesn’t forgive weakness.

Haunted by his past and driven by vengeance, Bruce learns that becoming a hero comes at the cost of losing who he once was. Each fight, each lesson strips away innocence until only purpose remains.

Crafted by Chip Zdarsky and Carmine Di Giandomenico, The Knight offers a cinematic, emotionally rich introduction to Batman’s post-Flashpoint evolution—no capes, no gadgets, just a man forging himself on the battlefield.

Collects Batman: The Knight #1–10. A defining origin for a hero learning that power is nothing without discipline and sacrifice.
