Batman #69

Batman and Catwoman take center stage on Yanick Paquette's cover, their gloved hands clasped as she pirouettes dynamically against a warm golden sky swarming with bats — a charged, almost dance-like moment between Gotham's most complicated pair. Beneath them, angelic stone figures loom in cool contrast, lending the scene an eerie, dreamlike weight that fits right in with the "Knightmares" storyline reaching its finale. Tom King and Paquette, with colors by Nathan Fairbairn, bring a genuine elegance to this 2019 issue that makes "The Last Dance" feel like exactly the right title.
