Old meets new at DC Comics this spring as the universe is enveloped by the two-month long event known as Convergence, a reality-bending event in which Brainiac has tied together timelines from all of DC History for a twisted experiment. During this “experiment” we will see characters of retro continuity and bizarre Elseworlds intertwine with the New 52 in a nostalgic and yet strange and unpredictable saga with something to offer fans of every era of DC Comics.
We’re unveiling two character pages from Convergence: Batman: Shadow of the Bat, a book that will definitely make readers of 90s Bat-books happy. This exclusive preview contains classic artwork and a brief look back at Jean-Paul Valley AKA Azrael, most famous for his tenure as The Dark Knight after Bane broke the back of a worn-down Bruce Wayne. And for those who’d like to revisit that story in its entirety, we have reviews for Knightfall, Knightquest, and Knightsend available as well.
