Batman: Curse of the White Knight #5

The Joker looms large on this DC Black Label cover, wearing a Batman-symbol apron and wielding what appears to be a long blade, while Batman's reflection — or perhaps his submerged form — stares up from the water below, Gotham's skyline visible in the dusky purple background. It's a striking image of predator and prey rendered in Sean Murphy's razor-sharp linework and brought to vivid life by Matt Hollingsworth's moody, atmospheric colors. Five issues in, Curse of the White Knight continues to feel like one of 2020's most visually ambitious Batman stories — and this cover makes a compelling case for why.
