The Batman Below is finally named.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT With how popular Batman is, it shouldn't be a surprise that DC has continually created dark mirror after dark mirror for Batman. Characters like Prometheus, Wrath, and Hush were all created with the exact purpose of being a dark Batman, and it seems DC is finally committing even further to this concept after revealing the name of the next dark version of Batman: the Batman Below.

Comics creator Christian Ward is bringing a brand new dark Batman to readers in his highly anticipated Batman: City of Madness Black Label book that promises to show off a twisted eldritch version of Batman now known as The Batman Below. Batman is undoubtedly one of DC's most popular characters. Because of this, the publisher never has a problem returning to the Dark Knight over and over again for new stories and takes on the character — and those new stories almost always need new threats. There are so many Anti-Batmen in the DC Universe that people have compiled entire power rankings for them. The Batman Below, a Lovecraftian version of Batman, now joins those ranks.

The most compelling part of Batman: City of Madness is its fresh take on a horror version of Batman. While comic readers are well-acquainted with the idea of an evil Batman, "evil" might not be the exact right word to describe the Batman Below. While characters like the Batman Who Laughs were born of Batman's fears, it's possible that characters such as the Batman Below are born of the fears of Gotham City itself.

What Batman ultimately stands for is hope, but, in order to fight criminals, he presents himself as a symbol of fear. When criminals and citizens all view Batman as a horrifying monster, it's interesting to consider what kind of monster might be born from those combined fears in the so-called Gotham Below. Ward promises to explore the thrilling — and terrifying — possibilities in Batman: City of Madness, which hits stands on October 10th from DC Comics.
