In the months leading up to its launch, DC Comics touted its new Black Label imprint as a part of its publishing arm where big-name comics creators could tell bold, mature stories about its heroes, exploring aspects of their lives that more mainstream titles tend not to.

Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo’s Batman: Damned made the biggest splash, in part, because a few panels featured a full frontally-nude Bruce Wayne. Now DC is wondering if it made a mistake.

Few comic book heroes have a rogues gallery like the Dark Knight -- and even fewer can match him for archnemeses that plunge the darkest depths of villainy simply as a reaction to Batman's very existence. But Batman's latest foe is an intriguing mystery, and one that delivers a creepy take on this familiar Bat-concept.

Batman #32 is much more than just Selina Kyle's answer to Bruce Wayne's marriage proposal. The story behind it reveals a pivotal moment in Bruce's past, one that comes to define not just his role as Batman, but how Bruce sees himself as Gotham's Dark Knight.

Be prepared for potential wedding bells in Gotham! DC Comics has announced that this week's Batman #24 will see a major step forward for Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle's relationship -- one that culminates in the Dark Knight himself getting down on one knee, asking Selina for her hand in marriage.
