Batman Beyond #8

The sleek black-and-red Batman Beyond suit dominates this 2016 cover as the future Dark Knight lunges forward with claws outstretched, the iconic bat-symbol's wings fanning out behind him to frame a crowd of agitated, protesting citizens — suggesting a Gotham very much at odds with its protector. Philip Tan's cover art captures both the suit's sharp, predatory design and a city simmering with unrest, setting a tense mood for "City of Yesterday Part One." With Dan Jurgens writing and Bernard Chang on interior art, this issue looks like a compelling dive into a Tomorrow's Gotham that feels anything but safe.
