Batman and Robin #21

A storm is gathering in Gotham as "The Gotham Cycle Part Two" unfolds in this 2025 entry from Phillip Kennedy Johnson and artists Javi Fernández and Carmine Di Giandomenico. Fernández's cover art is quietly devastating — a grim-faced Batman clutches a battered, blood-spattered Robin costume in his gloved hands, his expression locked somewhere between fury and grief. The torn title logo and Maiolo's smoldering orange-and-shadow palette give the whole image a scorched urgency that makes issue #21 impossible to put back on the shelf.
