What’s up comic and pop culture fans!
Today we're looking at the illustrious critically acclaimed “Legends of the Dark Knight “ comic book run that ran from 1989 to 2007! Intended as a sort of companion series to fill in gaps in early Batman canon, this series ended up smashing expectations on account of its devotion to providing quality Batman story after story! What made this run so special is that it wasn’t constricted to one set writing team, in fact the series as whole was a continuation of batman stories each done by writers ranging from Grant Morrison, Archie Goodwin, Dwayne Mcduffie, to many many more! The goal of the run was to provide one time stories, each handled by a specific power team of famous writers and artists, set in the early days of Batman ranging from what’s considered year one (aka the First years on the streets as Batman) to around year three. It’s a wonderfully welcomed addition to the Batman canon as it allowed artistic freedom, and my favorite reason: filled in a lot of questions and canon explanations for a lot of early year set Batman canon. More than a few times the quality of this run passed that of the regular Batman and detective comics run, so today we’re going to look at a selection of stories that I think embody some of the best Batman stories that are a must read for any Batman fanatic!

The fact that DC doesn't keep these in print is downright criminal.

Legends Of The Dark Knight is the best and most consistent Batman title, in my opinion. I also like Shadow Of The Bat where the characters are explored psychologically.

I'm actually reading through this series now and I really appreciate how much more mature and boundary-pushing this series was compared to the mainline series' at that same time in the early '90s. (Also, "Prey" was incredible -- I would absolutely watch an animated movie of that.)

I feel like LotDK really pulled off the best of both worlds when it comes to continuity: if you're familiar with the canon it fills in gaps and adds context but the stories mostly work on their own for those with only a passing familiarity with the characters (which is pretty much everyone).
@JU5T1NH4RTL3Y
@JU5T1NH4RTL3Y 9 месяцев назад
Totally agree! I feel like it included enough baseline canon to build stories off of but then allowed creators to add to the canon in a truly mythological way. In a sense, you as a reader can sort of pick and choose what literally happened versus what is being told with "embellishment". The first hundred issues or so is almost what I wish every A list would get a treatment of. Genuine artistry over corporate, toe-the-line hackery. And also the closest that a concept like Elseworlds ever got to a regular monthly series. One of my first ever comics was the two-parter "Mask" and it cemented my love of comics and Batman! :D

Legends was one of my favorite series. In college I worked at a comic store. before then Id pick up books here and there, maybe read something someone told me about. For example the green arrow Longbow series. The only stuff I really collected heavy was marvels gi joe, and the nam and vintage horror and sgt rock. But i got deep into these... As well as DC Vertigo titles.

@@MintHunterComics Here's the thing. In Batman #430 a year before the gothic storyline debuted we get a story that explains Bruce as a child wanted to play with his father but his father was so stressed out by everything that was going on in his business he by accident hit Bruce. His father felt horrible for it and tried to apologize but Bruce was so scarred by it he actually said he wished his dad were dead. Bruce then immediately felt bad for saying it and his dad decided to take Bruce and his mother out to see the Zorro movie and that was the night his parents died. In gothic it's said that Bruce and his parents went to go see Zorro because Bruce returned home from private school. If you ask me the one from Batman 430 is way more tragic and adds an extra bit of sadness to his parents death. The one from gothic is just nothing really.
