Consider Batman by Grant Morrison.
“Reading this Batman is like being dragged through a series of stylized nightmares: vivid, theatrical set-pieces where each rogue—Joker, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Two-Face and others—turns into an extended personal hell for the hero. It reads like a comic staged as a horror anthology, leaping between scenes and moods. Strength: intense mood, striking imagery, and inventive villain sequences that reward immersion. Limitation: the plot threads can feel fragmentary and Morrison’s surreal detours sometimes prioritize shock and atmosphere over clear motivation, leaving readers who want a tight, logical thriller frustrated.”
