“Death Knocks Three Times!”

In "Death Knocks Three Times!", Batman faces a chilling criminal in a skeleton suit who brazenly claims he can't be stopped—only to collapse and die in court, leaving the Dark Knight unsettled. When the man returns, seemingly reborn, Batman must confront a mystery that blurs the line between fate and fear, as the cycle of death and resurrection repeats. Written by Robert Kanigher and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Sheldon Moldoff and Joe Giella, this eerie tale is capped by a striking cover by Gil Kane and Murphy Anderson.

Batman stops a crook in a skeleton costume who boasts that he will escape justice. On the way from the courtroom, the man falls over and apparently dies, a fact that haunts the Batman, especially when he thinks of the man's boast. When Death-Man reappears, the Caped Crusaders get him again, only to have him die a second time, only to be resurrected again. Batman wonders: will the third time be the "lucky" charm that ends this menace?
