Legend Immortal Batman #1 Raise a disturbing question: What happens when the bat leaves the dark alleys to enter the Cosmos pursuers? The response is wrapped in interdimensional horror, with echoes of Horizon of events And a reinterpretation of the family ties that defined Batman’s myth for decades.
Far from being a simple “What if”, the work proposes to dystopian future and full of intergalactic threatsin which the portals open by human ambition have brought impossible entities to describe with them. And, as usual, someone had to face them. That someone, of course, was a different Batman, able to channel the energy of the shadows to become an immortal warrior.
The immortal legend Batman
The premise sounds like madness and, in a certain sense, it is. The comic does not hide its roots in dark scientific and cosmic terror. Humanity and emptiness merge into a narrative that reminds Lovecraft rather than to the classics DC. However, far from moving away from the spirit of the bat, this new vision expands. Now Batman not only looks gotham, but Defends the reality of the devoting forces that come from the other side of the universe.
But the most innovative are not monsters or portals, but the way the bequests are rewritten. Stephanie Brown becomes the first RobinSomething that interrupts the known chronology. His cloak does not end in Damian or Jason, but to Tim Drake, closing an unexpected circle.

Heritage altered in Batfamilia
The game with bequests does The immortal legend Batman In a unique experience. Family dynamics break and recompose with their own logic, challenging for veterans readers. It is like looking at a deformed mirror in which to recognize the names, but not the trajectories.

Shadows that manifest themselves as demons, spectra or entities of another plandepending on how those who contemplate them are interpreted.
A dark gentleman among the dimensions
The immortal Batman who present us is almost a legend. It is not the urban hero who patrols the roofs, But a cosmic warrior This found a way to combine the energy of our universe with that of the shadows. For years he fought a war in silence … until he disappeared. Nobody knows if for tiredness, defeat or for something even more left.
The voices say it has no vain at all. Now vague in solitude, in front of a new “Rogues gallery” made up of creatures deriving from the same shadows that has learned to dominate. That mythology of a Monster Hunter Batman, half spectrum, adds a layer of mystery that hooks from the first page.
