Batman est une icône qui exerce depuis sa création une fascination perpétuelle auprès des auteurs. Fruit du projet de l''éditeur Mark CHIARELLO, en hommage à son mentor Archie GOODWIN qui avait su attirer sur la revue Creepy les plus grands tels Alex TOTH, Frank FRAZETTA, Al WILLIAMSON, Steve DITKO ou encore Bernie WHRIGHTSON, cette anthologie eut également pour ambition de réunir les plus grands de l''industrie des comics autour du personnage de Batman, avec un format imposé – 7 à 8 pages – et une contrainte technique : le noir et blanc. Débutée en 1996, l''expérience se renouvela en 2002, 2008 et 2014, nourrissant le mythe du Chevalier Noir de quelques-unes de ses plus belles planches, et l''imaginaire des lecteurs des interprétations les plus personnelles d''auteurs légendaires.
