Bruce Wainwright, a comic book-reading kid obsessed with the Caped
Crusader, loses his parents in a violent crime...and in the real world,
no superheroes exist to save the day.
Batman: Creature of the Night, written by Kurt Busiek (Astro City)
and drawn by John Paul Leon (Mother Panic) is a standalone story set
outside of regular continuity in 1968 Boston, Massachusetts. The
survivor of the brutal murder of his parents, young Bruce sees grief and
rage build inside himself...until something strange starts taking wing
in the Gotham night! Something similar to the comics he's been reading
his whole life. As life begins to imitate art, will Bruce Wainwright be
able to live up to his fictional namesake?
A deliberate spiritual companion to the beloved Superman: Secret
Identity, Batman: Creature of the Night puts a new spin you've never
seen before on the legend of Batman--and the dark emotions that drive
him!
This volume collects issues #1-4 of the critically acclaimed
miniseries.
