Batman Confidential #54

The "Super Powers" arc reaches its conclusion in this 2011 issue of Batman Confidential, and the cover by Jerry Bingham makes the stakes feel immediate: a fierce, sword-wielding warrior stands defiantly amid a storm of arrows and fiery devastation, fallen figures at his feet, while a massive, cape-spreading Batman looms behind him ready to descend. The tagline "A League of One!" neatly captures the tension between these two forces on display. Marc Guggenheim and Jerry Bingham bring this arc home in what looks, from the cover alone, like a satisfyingly intense showdown.
