Batman: Gotham Adventures #59

Perched atop the towering Wayne Corp building beneath a moonlit Gotham sky, Batman cuts a commanding silhouette with his cape sweeping dramatically behind him — and the cover's tagline "Trouble at Home!" makes clear that even the Dark Knight's closest ties aren't safe from conflict. The animated-style artwork by cover penciler Bob Smith and inker Terry Beatty captures that sleek, expressive look fans of the Batman: The Animated Series aesthetic will immediately appreciate. With Scott Peterson writing and Tim Levins on interior art, this 2003 issue promises the kind of sharp, accessible storytelling that made Gotham Adventures a consistently satisfying run.
