Absolute Batman: The Black Mirror #[nn]

Few collected editions announce themselves with this kind of quiet menace — Batman stands alone, caped and cowled, engulfed by a churning swarm of bats that rises from the ground and dissolves into dark smoke above him, rendered in a haunting, painterly palette of steel blue and black. The title *The Black Mirror* appears in bold handwritten script below, perfectly matching the brooding atmosphere of the image. This 2019 DC Absolute edition presents one of the most atmospheric Batman stories in a format as striking as its cover.
