ISSUES 1-3 A huge proportion of DC’s output every month is dedicated to the Dark Knight and his associates. You imagine that it’s sometimes hard finding new stories to tell within the confines of Gotham City, but that’s not a problem for superstar Marvel writer Jason Aaron – now decamped to DC – and artist Doug Mahnke, who have sent the Caped Crusader interstellar.
Set early in his crime-fighting career, this six-issue miniseries sees Batman pay a visit to the Slag Galaxy (no, really). After an encounter with an alien on Earth, he decides that the only way to protect Gotham City is to see what life is like in the rest of the universe.
