Batman #347

In "The Shadow of the Batman," a small-time crook tries to recruit his friend for a bank heist, only to be deterred by stories of the Dark Knight’s relentless presence—tales that blur the line between legend and reality. Roger Slifer’s gripping script, brought to life by Trevor Von Eeden’s expressive art and Pablo Marcos’ sharp inks, captures the weight of Gotham’s mythos through a tense, character-driven narrative. Rich Buckler and Dick Giordano’s cover perfectly encapsulates the issue’s ominous tone.
