Batman: Gotham Adventures #38

Robin swings a hockey stick with fierce determination while Batgirl crouches ready for action beside him — the tagline "Face-Off!" makes it clear these two are squaring up against a large, looming opponent just off to the left in this energetic 2001 installment of the animated-style series. The cover art by Bob Smith and Terry Beatty captures the dynamic duo mid-brawl against a Gotham rooftop backdrop, channeling all the kinetic charm that made Batman: Gotham Adventures such a fun companion to the animated universe. With Scott Peterson writing and the creative team of Smith, Beatty, and Lee Loughridge bringing it to life, this is exactly the kind of action-packed team-up issue that keeps fans coming back.
