Official Reveal: 'Batman: Damned' by Azzarello and Bermejo

Are you excited? I sure am. Or should I say I'm "Damned."

With Batman: Damned, writer Brian Azzarello (100 Bullets) and Lee Bermejo (Joker) takes two of the DC's darkest figures and sends them colliding together. John Constantine and Batman are the perfect pairing but an unlikely duo. What could cause such a "team-up?" How about the death of The Joker.

Earlier last week, DC Comics provided Screen Rant with a sneak peek of Batman: Damned ahead of its September release. Take a look at Bermejo's textured, highly detailed art and experience the powerful prose of Azzarello below. 

From DC Comics:

DC BLACK LABEL, the highly anticipated new imprint from DC Comics, starts here! The Joker is dead. There is no doubt about that. But whether Batman finally snapped his scrawny neck or some other sinister force in Gotham City did the deed is still a mystery. Problem is, Batman can’t remember…and the more he digs into this labyrinthian case, the more his mind starts to doubt everything he’s uncovering. So who better to set him straight than…John Constantine? Problem with that is as much as John loves a good mystery, he loves messing with people’s heads even more. So with John’s “help,” the pair will delve into the sordid underbelly of Gotham as they race toward the mind-blowing truth of who murdered The Joker. BATMAN: DAMNED is a bimonthly super-natural horror story told by two of comics’ greatest modern creators—a visceral thrill-ride that proudly puts the “black” in BLACK LABEL.

Batman: Damned is a 3-part mini-series from DC Comics. Look for it at your local comic shop on September 19, 2018.
