Batman: Gotham Knights #1 (2000)
Batman: Gotham Knights ran from March 2000 to April 2006, with a total of 74 issues. The original intent of this book was to feature the exploits of Batman and his extended family (Alfred, Batgirl, Nightwing, Robin, Oracle, Catwoman, etc.).
The latter section of the run, however, came to focus much more upon the villains of the Batman. This title was among several which were cancelled at the conclusion of the Infinite Crisis story-line, as part of the "One Year Later" event (see Batman timeline). The final story arc was left unresolved but was later closed with Paul Dini's Detective Comics story arc Batman: Heart of Hush.
The series also featured the popular "Batman: Black and White" back-up strip, which allowed various artists with widely varying styles to do their take on the Dark Knight, in a black and white format.
