Travis Durden’s aim with these images is to illustrate that ‘the natural life cycle of myths and idols involves their destruction’. Every hero has a downfall. So the french artist created these digital compositions that show the eventual demise of Batman, in collaboration with several other photographers whose images document abandoned buildings around the world. Durden adds elements from Batman’s life into each frame.

It puts Batman in a post apocalyptic world where he is the guardian of essentially nothing. These images are haunting, sad and eerie. You thought he was brooding before! These images make me uneasy. Batman needs a thriving city around him.
