Batman #72

David Finch's cover for Batman #72 pulls no punches: a battered, bloodied Dark Knight surges forward through billowing smoke and flame, white eyes blazing with sheer defiance despite the punishment he's clearly taken. The tagline — "If the Dark Knight loses, Gotham falls!" — frames the stakes of "The Fall and the Fallen Part 3" with urgent, city-wide weight. With Tom King writing alongside artists Mikel Janín and Jorge Fornés, this issue lands squarely in one of Batman's most emotionally grueling stretches in recent memory.
