Release #2 - THE CROWNING OF THE BEAST

What if Gotham's darkest night was twisted into a different nightmare? This psychological fan-fiction graphic novel reinvents the Batman mythos with a visceral betrayal of original lore. Imagine that on that fateful night in Crime Alley, the child who watched the Waynes bleed out was not a boy named Bruce, but a young girl named Bryce. And imagine that the man waiting for her in the shadows of Wayne Manor was not a loyal guardian, but a twisted villain, a sadistic gardener of malice: Alister Pennyworth. In canon, Bruce Wayne forged his grief into a shield to protect the innocent. But Bryce’s crusade is fueled by a far more sinister engine. She does not move for justice; she moves for the pure, unadulterated hatred that Alister carefully cultivated within her soul for thirty years. Bryce is Alister’s ultimate masterpiece—a beautifully sculpted weapon of terror designed to tear Gotham's underworld apart limb by limb, an outlaw who actively mocks the law and manipulates the authorities. Yet, as this monstrous dark knight plunges Gotham into a reign of terror, an unyielding force of true righteousness stands in her path: Captain James Gordon. Upright and incorruptible, Gordon leads the task force to hunt her down. But as their deadly game intensifies, the veteran detective begins to see through the terrifying mask. He glimpses the broken, bleeding soul of the tormented girl trapped beneath the armor. Amidst a city drowning in blood, James Gordon commits himself to a tragic final crusade: to drag Bryce Wayne out of the consuming abyss, even if it costs him his life.
