Batgirl #12

Two Bat-family heavyweights collide on this striking 2012 New 52 cover by Artgerm, where Batgirl and Batwoman — both in full costume and red hair flowing — clash against a moody Gotham cityscape in what looks like a genuinely fierce rooftop brawl. The tagline says it plainly: this is Batgirl "in battle against Batwoman," and the tension leaping off the image makes it easy to see why Gail Simone's run had readers eager for every new chapter. With interior art by Ardian Syaf and inks by Vicente Cifuentes, issue #12 of the New 52 series delivers the kind of hero-vs.-hero confrontation that makes "Every Time I Fall" a compelling addition to any collection.
