The Infinity War #4–6, Warlock and the Infinity Watch #8–10

Po celé roky byl Temným rytířem Gothamu, který ze stínů střežil své město a mýtil zlo v jeho ulicích. Neporazitelný, nedotknutelný, nikdy nebyl zlomený. Až dosud. Batman: Kult obsahuje kontroverzní čtyřdílnou ságu scenáristy Jima Starlina, špičkového hororového kreslíře Bernieho Wrightsona a jeho kolegy Billa Wraye. V tomto příběhu Batman stojí proti charismatickému jáhnovi Blackfirovi, tajemné postavě s kořeny starými jako Gotham sám. Blackfire postavil armádu z nespokojených občanů města a lidí bez domova… ale co má skutečně v plánu? Když jsou Batmanova vůle a duše zlomeny, stává se zranitelným vůči Blackfirově vlivu. Rozpolcený a zmatený Batman musí čelit strachu, jestli chce překazit Blackfirovu snahu stát se mučedníkem!

Vítejte v Gothamu. Ve městě plném nejen šílených padouchů, klaunů a tučňáků, ale i mnohem prozaičtějšího zla: feťáků, lupičů, pouličních gangů, drogových dealerů a sériových vrahů. Městě, kde má zlo spoustu tváří. Může vypadat jako sadistický psychopat, který rozřezává ženy na kusy a pohazuje je v popelnicích, nebo jako profesionální zabiják s tajnou misí, za nímž zůstávají desítky mrtvých. Takovéhle zlo je mnohem nebezpečnější a nepostižitelnější... a zasáhne Batmana mnohem nelítostněji a krutěji, než sám čeká. Temný rytíř po dlouhé době naráží na protivníky, na které možná nebude stačit. Po knize Batman: Rok jedna přichází Crew s dalšími příběhy z dob, kdy se barvotiskový komiksový hrdina měnil v temného rytíře a kdy se spíš než na monumentální souboje sázelo na ponurou atmosféru drsné školy. Ocitáte se na prahu Batmanova nejtemnějšího... a zároveň nejslavnějšího období.
