The origin of Batman and his never-ending fight against crime in Gotham City is modern mythology, but what of the story in between? Superstar writer Chip Zdarsky (Daredevil) and acclaimed artist Carmine Di Giandomenico (The Flash) take Bruce Wayne on a fraught journey, making allies and enemies, on his training to become Batman in Batman: The Knight Vol. 1!

How did an angry, damaged young man grow into the most accomplished detective and crime-fighter the world has ever known? How did the Dark Knight... begin?

Bruce Wayne's journey toward becoming the Dark Knight has begun, and he has many hard lessons to learn before his education is complete. His adventure begins in the City of Lights, Paris, where he'll train with a world-renowned cat burglar and come into contact with a horrifying serial killer stalking the city's wealthy elite... will this "first test" for the young Batman prove deadly?

Batman: The Knight Vol. 1 collects Batman: The Knight #1-10!
