Three heroes who bear the mantle of the bat face the immortal Vandal Savage in BATMAN: DARK KNIGHT DYNASTY, the softcover edition of the centuries-spanning Elseworlds hardcover. From writer Mike W. Barr and an incredible array of artists that includes Scott Hampton, Gary Frank and Cam Smith, and Scott McDaniel and Bill Sienkiewicz comes a startling three-chapter tale that begins in the time of the Crusades and concludes in the distant future, as 14th-century soldier Joshua of Wainwright and his descendants battle the villainous immortal Vandal Savage. Wrapped with a stunning painted cover by renowned fantasy painter Brom (from a sketch by McDaniel), DARK KNIGHT DYNASTY is told in three chapters, each set in a different era, with art and lettering styles selected to reflect each chapter's distinctive setting. The first chapter (painted by Scott Hampton) begins in the 14th century as Joshua of Wainwright, a soldier in the Crusades, interrupts the villainous Vandal Savage in the middle of an attempt to bring a strange meteor crashing to Earth. Joshua dedicates his life to thwarting Savage's plans, an oath that commits his descendants to the task as well, as modern-day Bruce Wayne dons the cowl of Batman to face a reborn Savage (in a chapter illustrated by Gary Frank and Cam Smith) and siblings Brenna and James Wayne face Savage in a final battle in the distant future (in a chapter with layouts by Scott McDaniel and finishes by Bill Sienkiewicz). BATMAN: DARK KNIGHT DYNASTY is a 128-page softcover book.
