![Ram V’s run on Detective Comics – an epic titled “Gotham Nocturne” – wrapped up recently. Only a few months after its conclusion, it feels like the most consequential run on the secondary Batman title in well over a decade, since the compressed period in time when the title jumped from Paul Dini to Greg Rucka and J.H. Williams III to Scott Snyder, Jock and Francesco Francavilla. “Gotham Nocturne” is a major work on the Caped Crusader, a bold exploration of what Batman is and what he should be.
“Gotham Nocturne” is a very deliberate and mannered epic. It is very meticulously structured and very conscious in its storytelling. As the title implies, Ram V structures the adventure like an opera. It consists of five clear movements, each of which neatly corresponds to the collected editions: Overture, Act I, Act II, Intermezzo and Act III. This sort of structure is relatively rare in mainstream American superhero comics, and it speaks to the sense of “Gotham Nocturne” as a major and ambitious work.
Ram V has spoken about how his run on Detective Comics is less a traditional Batman serial than it is a grand operatic saga. The writer recalls that this was baked into his original vision for the run. “How is it that [Batman] comics have never had this… kind of slightly elevated, operatic, melodramatic theatre-play written as a TV show?” Ram V asked. “Like Hannibal, or like most things Bryan Fuller does? Or, why isn’t there like a Robert Eggers version?”
Hannibal is an illustrative comparison. While “Gotham Nocturne” is in mainstream DC continuity, picking up from the destruction of Arkham Asylum in the opening issue of Infinite Frontier, a then-recent gigantic crossover, it is in conversation with the idea of Batman as a myth and legend that transcends the specifics of whatever is currently happening within the shared universe. This is a Batman comic about the place of Batman in culture, not just in this moment.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yekvl6k6dm35bmp2ygpolt7k/bafkreia5l2ynuzvkvzsx6z75jxdcedcipbgmwa3rgr4akwc34mvpb2ui5i)
