THE COMPLETE EPIC SERIES BY FAN-FAVORITE WRITER DAN WATTERS AND HAYDEN SHERMAN, THE ARTIST OF ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN! Batman: Dark Patterns is a series of four self-contained, street-level mysteries that delve into the early days of Batman’s role in Gotham City and his healing presence within its streets. This grounded, mystery-driven narrative evokes the rich tone and style of beloved classics such as Batman: Year One, Batman: The Long Halloween, and Batman: Hush. Penned by the talented Dan Watters and brought to life through the striking artistry of Hayden Sherman, each three-part story stands alone as a gripping detective case, shedding light on the trauma and resilience of Gotham’s citizens and its urban landscape. The series masterfully underscores Batman’s dual identity as a methodical sleuth and a shadowy beacon of hope, skillfully steering clear of cosmic or supernatural distractions. This intentional focus reassures readers of a steadfast commitment to a more authentic, detective-driven experience, highlighting relatable mysteries that brilliantly showcase the Dark Knight as a healer cloaked in darkness.

No weapons, no allies...What hope does Batman have now?! Batman's struggle against Zur, the demonic personality locked within Bruce's mind, has culminated in the activation of Failsafe, a homicidal robot Batman who now stalks the streets of Gotham doling out "real justice." Meanwhile, the real Batman is trapped within his own mind, literally and metaphorically, rallying as best he can against the traps he'd inadvertently laid for himself. But how can Batman defeat Batman? And what about his family, now left under the charge of an out-of-control robot with all of Batman's skills and none of his morals?

It all comes down to this. The fates of Batman and Dylan Dog have come to a meeting point. The twisted paths of the Dark Knight and the Nightmare Investigator have been brought together through their lethal nemeses: The Joker, Gotham City's Clown Prince of Crime, and Professor Xabaras, a mad genius with a taste for bringing the dead back to life! When Catwoman turns up missing, the unlikely duo will need to enlist John Constantine for assistance and forge an uneasy alliance, putting aside their differences in order to successfully confront and defeat an evil that comes from the past. Collects BATMAN/DYLAN DOG #1-3.
