Batman and Robin #23.3

Part of DC's 2013 New 52 "Villains Month" event, this issue puts Rā's al Ghūl front and center — literally — as he erupts from a swirling surge of Lazarus Pit energy, arms outstretched, while two sword-wielding League of Assassins warriors flank him and a helmeted figure crouches in the lower corner. The cover by Patrick Gleason and Mick Gray captures the character's terrifying vitality with vivid green energy and sharp, dynamic composition. James Tynion IV scripts "The Demon's Tower" with art by Jeremy Haun and colors by John Rauch, making this a standout spotlight issue for one of Batman's most formidable adversaries.
