Batman is led through a labyrinthine urban maze by his old nemesis the Riddler, who seems to have changed into an abominable monster with one purpose: to drive Batman insane. As, in the present day, Batman takes on the Riddler's challenges, while in the past the story also explores the connection between Gotham City and the occult.

Letters from Ken Barron, Kip Talbot, Chris Camerute, Brian Warren, Lon Wolf, John C. Burk, Christoph Weiss and Cousins-German.

  • Dark Knight, Dark City [Part I] - Story continues in Batman (DC, 1940 series) 453. One of the books on which the library guard is standing is 'Seduction of the Innocent' by Dr. Fredric Wertham, a 1950s study of the influence of comic books on the youth of the time, blaming them for causing juvenile delinquency. It created alarm in parents and led directly to the formation of the Comics Code Authority.
