Alfred taunts the Dark Knight in this Batman’s Grave exclusive
Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch changed the superhero game when they debuted The Authority in 1999, bringing a widescreen cinematic aesthetic to the genre that would shape how superheroes were presented in the new millennium. 20 years later, Ellis and Hitch have reunited for The Batman’s Grave, a standalone 12-issue miniseries that spotlights how well these two creators work together. Featuring inks by Kevin Nowlan, colors by Alex Sinclair, and letters by Richard Starkings, The Batman’s Grave leans into the detective element of the character while still holding on to the grandiosity that defines Hitch’s work. The creative team has a lot of freedom to tell the story their way, like devoting half an issue to a fight scene with almost no text, and the lack of continuity restraints makes this a great gateway for Batman fans who want to read Batman comics.
