“When you chase your own shadow… it leads you to the abyss.”

Awhile back we wrote about “DC Comics New Black Label Series ‘Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham.'” In this 4 issue mini-series, writer/ artist Rafael Grampa is taking Gotham’s protector to darker and more complicated themes than ever before and has him facing off against a new, sinister villain, “Crytoon.”  Grampá’s Gargoyle of Gotham takes place in a world where the Dark Knight has eschewed his life as Bruce Wayne in order to become Batman on a full-time basis.

Issue #1 is out now and DC has put together a trailer supporting the series.  Give it watch…

“In a Gotham City where every day feels darker and more irredeemable than the last, Batman makes a definitive choice–to kill off the Bruce Wayne identity for good and embrace the cowl full-time. But though he knows the streets of Gotham, Batman will soon come to find that he hardly knows himself. A serial killer is on the loose, and while the murder victims seem random at first, every clue draws Batman closer to the terrifying truth–that they are all connected, not just to each other…but to him…

When an all-new rogues gallery of utterly depraved villains begins to emerge from the depths of the city, Batman will have to contend with the very nature of evil–including that which lurks inside in the darkest corners of his own heart–to face what’s coming for his city. “

As we said, issue #1 is out now with issue #2 hits stores on November 14th.
