Batman #484

In "Warpaint," Batman faces a returning Black Mask, whose ruthless ambition threatens to reignite Gotham's underworld chaos. With the city's mob factions now fractured and vying for power, the Dark Knight must navigate a web of shifting alliances and old grudges—where loyalty is a liability and every move could be a trap. Written by Doug Moench and illustrated by Tom Grindberg, with inks by Trevor Scott, colors by Adrienne Roy, and letters by Richard Starkings, the issue’s stark, shadow-drenched visuals are matched by Michael Golden’s intense cover.
