All-star writer Ram V is approaching the endgame of his monumental and critically well-received run on Detective Comics in 2024. Recently, he’s set the table by reintroducing one of Batman’s most controversial and mysterious enemies of all time, Dr. Simon Hurt.With a complicated history involving time travel, dark magic rituals, and demonic forces, Hurt’s original run in Grant Morrison’s epic Batman run left more questions than answers. Now that he’s about to intervene in the Caped Crusader’s campaign against crime once more, this is the perfect time to set the record straight.One of the most engaging aspects of Morrison’s run was an impressive ability to fold the strangest elements from Batman’s Golden and Silver Age history into present-day continuity, masterfully recontextualizing decades of older discarded stories for modern audiences. The re-invention of Dr. Simon Hurt was the best example of this. Morrison took this former background character and turned him into one of Batman’s most deadly enemies, one of the few capable of breaking the Caped Crusader’s spirit.
