Batman: Gotham Knights #4 – 2000 continues the Samsara storyline with Part 2: Letting Go, offering a blend of supernatural mystery and emotional depth that sets this early issue apart in the series. Written by Devin Grayson with art by Paul Ryan, this instalment explores grief, redemption, and the ever-blurring line between life and death in Gotham City.
In this issue, Batman investigates the disturbing case of Samuel Yates, a young man who died in a car crash but appears to be mysteriously reanimating the bodies of the recently deceased. These bodies are used to accuse the Dark Knight of crimes he didn’t commit, shaking the public’s trust and unsettling Gotham’s already fragile calm.
As Batman unravels the truth, he discovers the tragic heart of the mystery: Sam’s grieving mother, wracked with guilt and rooted to the spot where her son died. When Sam uses another man’s body to reach out to her, the encounter nearly ends in disaster—until Batman intervenes just in time, saving her from a fatal accident. This powerful moment convinces Sam of Batman’s unwavering dedication to protecting lives, even when hope seems lost.
Also included in this issue is the short backup story “Greetings from... Gotham City”, a darkly humorous postcard-style letter written by a thug to his mother, chronicling his ill-fated run-in with Batman. This light-hearted tale contrasts brilliantly with the main story’s weightier themes and is a brilliant showcase of the series’ tonal range.
The artwork by Paul Ryan captures the emotional intensity and otherworldly eeriness of the Samsara arc, while the backup story delivers classic Gotham grit with a wink. It's a compelling mix that makes Batman: Gotham Knights #4 an essential issue for collectors and readers interested in character-driven narratives.
