Batman #555

In "Trapped Like Rats [Aftershock]," a subway train full of terrified commuters is stranded in a collapsed tunnel, cut off from help. Batman and Robin race against time to reach them, but they're not the only ones who know the way—Ratcatcher is also closing in. Written by Doug Moench and illustrated by John Beatty, with inks by Sal Buscema and colors by Gregory Wright and Android Images, the issue builds tension with a claustrophobic, high-stakes rescue mission. Kelley Jones delivers a striking cover that captures the dread of the underground nightmare.
