Batman #137 (902)

A boldly composed cover by Jorge Jiménez sets the tone for "The Gotham War Chapter 2" — a poised, cat-eared woman in leopard-print pants lounges confidently in an armchair, while a looming, rain-drenched Batman hovers as an imposing shadow behind her. The contrast between her cool composure and his barely contained intensity signals a serious power struggle at the heart of this 2023 arc. With Chip Zdarsky writing and Tomeu Morey's vivid colors giving the scene extra charge, this is a Dawn of DC chapter that wears its conflict right on its sleeve.
