Batman #577

In "Mike and Allie," Batman and Alfred face an unexpected challenge beneath Wayne Manor— a persistent rat infestation in the Bat-Cave that’s tripping alarms and disrupting their usual routine. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Scott McDaniel, with inks by Karl Story and colors by Roberta Tewes and Wildstorm FX, this issue finds the duo tackling the problem with equal parts grit and dry wit, while a deeper mystery stirs in the storm conduits below. The cover, by Scott McDaniel, captures the uneasy tension between the familiar and the unknown.
