Batman #580

In "Orca Part Two: Going Under," Batman faces a chilling moral dilemma as Orca’s desperate actions push her toward dangerous alliances, forcing the Dark Knight to confront whether he can trust someone whose very strength lies in the depths he cannot navigate. With Orca’s abilities rooted in the ocean’s unforgiving embrace, Batman must find a way to stop her—before she drags Gotham’s fate beneath the surface. Written by Larry Hama and Scott McDaniel, with art by Scott McDaniel and inks by Karl Story, this issue delivers a tense, grounded showdown under the waves, its haunting tone elevated by Roberta Tewes’ colors and John Costanza’s sharp lettering. The cover by Scott McDaniel captures the moment’s suffocating intensity.
