Batman: Detective Comics #3
In "Gotham Nocturne: Act II: Lost Sands," Batman, Oracle, Nightwing, and Batgirl brace for an imminent threat as the Orghams move to enact their long-buried designs on Gotham. Ram V and Stefano Raffaele lead a striking visual team—including Ivan Reis, Eduardo Pansica, and a layered inking ensemble—while Brad Anderson and Adriano Lucas set the tone with rich, atmospheric colors. The story deepens with Talia revealing a centuries-old connection between Prince Orgham’s lineage and Ra’s Al Ghul, even as Vandal Savage makes a sudden, dangerous move against Queen Orgham. Evan Cagle’s cover captures the tension with a moody, shadowed Gotham under siege.
