“Heavy Metalhead”

Among moonlit gravestones, Batman grapples with a dark, masked antagonist called Metalhead in a cover rendered by penciler Ed Hannigan and inker Jim Aparo that crackles with kinetic tension — sparks literally fly at the point of impact between the two combatants. Writer Doug Moench and artist Jim Aparo bring Gotham's grittier side to the forefront in this November 1992 entry, with a mausoleum looming ominously in the background and a small inset of Batman and Robin reminding readers that the Dark Knight is never entirely alone.
