Azrael: Agent of the Bat #91

Part fifteen of the "Bruce Wayne: Fugitive" crossover, this 2002 DC issue puts Azrael front and center in his gold-and-crimson armor, gazing into an ornate framed mirror that reflects a dynamic, leaping Batman against a gothic cityscape — a striking visual tension between the two figures that perfectly captures the "Rogue Agent!" tagline. The cover, penciled by Mike Zeck and inked by Jerry Ordway, delivers a beautifully composed image that makes you feel the weight of identity and legacy pressing down on Azrael. With Dennis O'Neil writing and Sergio Cariello on interior art, this chapter of "Confession" promises the kind of brooding, character-driven storytelling this series does so well.
