Batman: Dark Age (2024-)

Bruce Wayne is a fixture of Gotham City's high society, a young man navigating a metropolis in visible decline. The city's descent mirrors the turbulent decades of American history unfolding around it. This environment forges a new kind of protector, one whose methods are a direct response to the chaos in the streets. Familiar faces from the city's underworld and its institutions emerge, their roles reshaped by the era's pressures. Batman operates not as a myth, but as a stark, physical reaction to a world losing its bearings, his war conducted in the rain-slicked alleys and opulent, crumbling ballrooms of a doomed Gotham.
