Batman: Curse of the White Knight #6

Sean Murphy and Matt Hollingsworth's Batman: Curse of the White Knight reaches its penultimate chapter with a cover that says everything about the stakes: a brooding, armor-clad Dark Knight looms at the top, glowing red eyes and a sword rising behind him, while below, a massive Bane-like figure crouches menacingly over a smaller Batman against a moonlit Gotham skyline. The composition — two Batmen, one towering threat, a city on the edge — is the kind of cover that earns its DC Black Label badge. Murphy's kinetic linework, deepened by Hollingsworth's cool blues and warm amber accents, makes this 2020 issue feel genuinely tense before you've turned a single page.
