Batman Eternal #5

In "Disinfect," Red Robin delves into the mysterious illness affecting children from Professor Pyg’s attack, tracking the source to a hidden building in the Narrows—only to trigger a dangerous swarm of nanobots he didn’t know were there. Meanwhile, Vicki Vale, chasing a story on rising gang tensions, is rescued by Harper Row, and the three forces converge in a single apartment, where the nanobots shift their focus with deadly consequence. The escalating crisis sends ripples beyond Gotham, catching attention in Japan. Written by Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Ray Fawkes, John Layman, and Tim Seeley, with art by Andy Clarke and colors by Blond, the issue’s cover by Andy Kubert captures the tension in a striking, high-stakes moment.
