Batman #8/1990
In "Videovåld," Batman is targeted in a chillingly real "snuff movie" filmed by the voyeuristic amateur filmmaker Lampet, who captures the Dark Knight being assaulted by the brutal Tonka. When two young boxers intervene, Batman apprehends Lampet, who manages to pass the footage to Milton Sladek—a ruthless businessman who hosts exclusive private screenings of such atrocities for the wealthy. The story unfolds with sharp tension as Batman tracks down the elite audience, culminating in their arrest and a harrowing confrontation that forces them to face the consequences of their entertainment. Written by Alan Grant, John Wagner, and Johan Holmér, with art by Eduardo Barreto and inks by Steve Mitchell, the issue features a striking cover by Norm Breyfogle.
