My Favorite Batman Story and The Perfect Genesis for a Superhero Gotham as a place that has fallen long a go in a deep abyss of Crime and Corruption. Jim, his Wife and Newborn Son as a little drop of imperfect purity in the darkness. Then Bruce Wayne comes and begins his career as the Dark Knight, learning from his mistakes and climbing up with every foe he encounters. Finally, the masked avenger and the honest but imperfect cop seal a Covenant for the Salvation of the Soul of Gotham City. A Masterpiece Among Watchmen, The Dark Knight Returns and The Sandman.
