Batman: Gotham Adventures #44

A wide-eyed, clearly shaken Batman dominates the foreground of this Batman: Gotham Adventures cover, his expression caught somewhere between shock and alarm as Nightwing and Robin tumble helplessly in the Batmobile behind him — the bold headline "Two-Faced!" promising exactly the kind of Gotham mischief fans love. The animated-style linework from cover penciler Bob Smith and inker Terry Beatty gives the scene a wonderful sense of kinetic chaos, perfectly suited to the Batman: The Animated Series aesthetic the book embraces. With Peterson, Levins, and Beatty on the interior, this 2002 entry is a lively, energetic read for fans of the Dark Knight and his extended family.
