Batman and the Mad Monk is an American comic book limited series, featuring the DC Comics superhero Batman published in 2006-2007.[1] It is set during the Batman: Year One continuity, but after the events of Batman and the Monster Men and before the events of Batman: The Man Who Laughs. It is the second part of Matt Wagner's two part Dark Moon Rising series, which are expanded and modernized versions of Golden Age Batman stories.[2]
Plot
Batman must counter sinister machinations and new dimensions of wickedness as he confronts the hooded menace of the Mad Monk, his first encounter with a supernatural villain. He also must deal with the direct repercussions of the events in Batman and the Monster Men.
Continuity
- The ending of this story ties in with the ending of Year One and leads into Batman: The Man Who Laughs, which portrays Batman's first encounter with The Joker.
- During an internal monologue in issue #1, Batman mentions Catwoman's involvement in the events of Year One and the soon-to-be Joker ("First her and then that poor wretch in the red cape and hood").
