Many describe him as either “The Dark Knight” or one of the best detectives in the DC Universe. His character was first created in 1939 by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger.
Over the years his character has gone through much development and as the DC franchise entered into the multiverse concept, many variations of him have been done as well and this latest version of the bat themed hero will be having many heads turned.
