Published by DC Comics from 2005 to 2008, the series is known for its controversial and often violent interpretation of Batman and his sidekick, Robin. The story presents a darker, more psychologically intense version of the characters, which led to divided opinions among readers and critics, with some questioning if it was intended as a parody.
