Rafael Grampá returns to the Dark Knight for a new mature readers Batman series
The four-part Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham begins in September
Everyone knows the origin of DC’s Dark Knight, but in a brand new series for the publisher’s Black Label imprint, creator Rafael Grampá is going to demonstrate that there might be more to the story than previously thought… and more than Batman himself believed, as well.

“When his origin was introduced in Batman #1 in the 1940s, Bruce Wayne swore revenge by the spirits of his murdered parents and—driven by his belief in an omen—became Batman,” Grampá explained in a statement from the publisher. “For me, this subtle aspect of Bruce’s belief system has always been the fundamental core of Batman, and through that lens I recognized this untold story. Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham explores ‘who he is and why he came to be.’ It makes my dream of bringing my own interpretation of Batman to life a reality as I delve into the darkest corners of his essence. I sincerely hope readers enjoy the ride.”

This isn’t the only Batman launch in September; in the mainstream DC Universe, Batman and Robin will launch as part of the Dawn of DC that same month.
