From legendary comics writer Dan Jurgens and superstar Batman artist Mike Perkins comes a pulp-influenced noir take on the caped crusader set in his debut year, 1939. It's 1939, fascism is on the rise, and Batman is in his early days, labeled by those in Gotham as "the vigilante". At the center of a series of crimes, Batman comes to the conclusion that their prime suspect in each case were deceased. With the Caped Crusader's only ally being Detective James Gordon of the Gotham City Police Department, both detectives must uncover who these "reanimated criminals" are and how to stop them.

Mehso-so

This was a pretty decent early adventure for Batman, in the style of the original 1939 comic debut, with increased violence, gory, and profanity, as implied by the Black Label designation. I felt the “adult“ aspects weren't really necessary, and the story seemed to struggle to fill all three issues. There were some excellent panels, but overall the art was overly dark and not very appealing.
