Batman #329

Batman #329 puts the Dark Knight in a genuinely dire spot: chained and kneeling before Two-Face's twisted courtroom, with the scarred villain presiding from the judge's bench and declaring the coin's verdict — guilty, with only one sentence possible. Jim Aparo's cover captures the tension beautifully, Batman bound in heavy chains while Two-Face looms over him, coin in hand, the whole scene framed beneath that sweeping bat-symbol. This 1980 issue also promises a full-length Batman novel plus a second story teaming Batman and Robin, making it a particularly satisfying read.
