Batman: Gotham Adventures #12

Batman's looming silhouette watches from the shadows as a mysterious hooded, trench-coated figure leaps across a giant globe, dual pistols drawn, while masked gunmen close in from below — and the cover asks point-blank: "A New Hero?" Set in the animated series' clean, expressive style, this May 1999 issue of Batman: Gotham Adventures promises an intriguing shake-up to Gotham's roster, with cover art by Craig Rousseau and Terry Beatty bringing real energy to the question of who this new player might be.
