Batman: Knight Gallery is a one-shot comic book released by DC Comics in 1995. It consists of a series of alternate Batman costumes with commentary attributed to Bruce Wayne.
In 1995 DC Comics decided to change Batman's costume once again. Various artists proposed over twenty new costume designs. DC Writers, Artists, and Editors met at the annual Bat-Meet to decide on a new costume based on the submitted designs.
The Bat-Team decided on a costume, but someone forgot to notify Warner Brothers for the upcoming movie. In that movie the Batman wore an all black rubber costume and so DC began drawing Batman in an all black suit, beginning in Batman 515 in February of 1995.
Doug Moench, who liked all of the ideas, thought it would be interesting to print them in a Bruce Wayne journal - Knight Gallery. The designs were printed in a standard comic format with a little bit of text as if Bruce Wayne were sketching designs in a journal and writing in what he liked and disliked about each design. Taking the idea one step further, Moench used the costumes in a set of Elseworlds books called Brotherhood of the Bat and The League of Batman.
