Mary Clover

Stepping quietly into the Modern Age of DC's Gotham with Batman #3 (2016), Mary Clover is one of those characters whose presence carries real emotional weight despite a small footprint in the catalog — her appearances woven into Tom King and David Finch's celebrated run, a era widely regarded as one of Batman's richest in recent memory. With only six appearances to her name, she's a figure who resonates through context: sharing pages with Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth, and the figures known as Gotham Girl, Hank Clover, and Claire Clover, she's embedded in the deeply personal, family-focused storytelling that defined King's vision of the Dark Knight. For collectors diving into the Rebirth era — whether through the main Batman title or the handsome Deluxe Edition collections — Mary Clover is a quiet but meaningful thread in one of modern comics' most emotionally ambitious runs.
