Batman Beyond #16

This striking Bernard Chang cover for Batman Beyond #16 (November 2016) splits the world in two — a lone silhouetted figure, backpack over their shoulder, stands bathed in a blazing orange-gold light above, while the bold red-and-black shadow of the Batman Beyond suit's distinctive bat symbol stretches downward across a dark, brooding lower half. The contrast between the ordinary person above and the looming symbol below tells a quietly powerful visual story about the weight of the mantle. Dan Jurgens, Stephen Thompson, and Lisa Jackson bring the "Wired for Death" arc to its epilogue, making this a satisfying chapter in the ongoing saga of the future Dark Knight.
