DC Universe’s Gentleman Thief
"Haha, and they call you 'World's best detective', huh? A perfect crime doesn't exist? Foolishness, Batman, foolishness~"
"Let me show you a perfect crime... Done countless times, heh~"
In Gotham City, under the shadow of heroes and villains, a new name rises.
Darren Greer, a seemingly ordinary high-school student, is secretly Kaitou Kid—a flamboyant phantom thief who steals under the spotlight, sends advance notices, and vanishes like magic.
With impossible disguises, flawless planning, and audacious performances, he toys with the GCPD, outwits Jim Gordon, and slips through the world's best detective, Batman’s, growing net.
He doesn’t steal for money.
He doesn’t steal for power.
What he seeks is something far more dangerous—the art of the perfect crime itself.
As Gotham’s heroes begin to take him seriously, Kaitou Kid’s stage expands from museums to the entire DC world. Each theft is a spectacle, each escape a miracle, and each appearance brings him closer to the Bat-Family’s full attention.
Gentleman thief or unpredictable wild card?
Showman… or nightmare?
Under the moonlight, the phantom thief smiles—because the real show has only just begun!
