Batman: Gotham Knights #7 – 2000 delves deep into the personal cost of heroism and the silent, unseen toll taken on those who stand in the shadow of the Bat. Written by Devin Grayson with compelling art from Roger Robinson, this issue explores themes of guilt, reflection, and recovery in a Gotham where violence leaves lasting scars.

In this emotionally charged chapter, Bruce Wayne visits Lucius Fox, who is recovering in hospital after a brutal attack at the hands of Zeiss, a deadly new threat introduced earlier in the series. Bruce grapples with the guilt of not preventing the assault, despite the fact that Lucius has long accepted the dangers of being associated with Wayne Enterprises and, by extension, Batman. The issue subtly highlights Bruce’s inner conflict—torn between his dual identities and their often conflicting consequences.

Meanwhile, Batman pursues Zeiss, a villain whose terrifying efficiency and tactical mind make him a formidable adversary even for Gotham’s greatest protector. Their clash is brief but intense, hinting at a larger confrontation to come. The growing tension builds on earlier instalments, making this issue a key part of the wider arc.

As a bonus, the Batman: Black & White backup story in this issue delivers a visual treat—offering a stand-alone tale rendered in stark monochrome. These shorts continue to be a unique hallmark of the Gotham Knights run, delivering philosophical punches and visual variety that deepen the series' appeal.

Roger Robinson’s artwork blends expressive realism with kinetic fight sequences, giving weight to both quiet, reflective hospital moments and high-stakes alleyway chases. The emotional nuance in facial expressions and posture is particularly strong, grounding the superhero narrative in very human emotion.
