Batman Eternal #20

Batman Eternal #20 brings together Batman, Batgirl, and a combative prisoner — depicted on Alex Garner's cover in a tense, layered composition that crackles with urgency against a glowing backdrop. Batman charges forward in the foreground while Batgirl moves dynamically behind him, and an orange-jumpsuited inmate brandishes a baton near prison bars, hinting at the chaotic energy promised by the story title "Wild Animals." With a writing team that includes Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Tim Seeley, Ray Fawkes, and John Layman — and interior art by Emanuel Simeoni — this 2014 New 52 weekly series entry delivers the kind of sprawling, ensemble storytelling that made Batman Eternal such an ambitious ride.
