Batman Confidential #1

Batman strides forward with fierce purpose on this striking launch issue, surrounded by a swarm of real bats against a bold red background — a visual that perfectly captures the Dark Knight's primal, creature-of-the-night mystique. Writer Andy Diggle and artist Whilce Portacio, with inks by Richard Friend, kick off "Rules of Engagement" with a cover that promises something raw and elemental about Bruce Wayne's alter ego. It's a confident opening chapter for a series clearly intent on digging deeper into the Batman mythos.
