Batman: Gotham Knights #20

Batman crouches in the foreground with cape sweeping wide, his expression focused and guarded, while Superman stands tall behind him against a Gotham skyline — it's a study in contrasts that captures the complicated dynamic between DC's two greatest heroes. Brian Bolland's cover art brings a quiet intensity to the pairing, with clean linework and a muted urban backdrop that lets both figures command the space equally. With Devin Grayson, Roger Robinson, and John Floyd steering the story inside, this October 2001 issue kicks off a two-part arc with a title — "Sons and Lovers" — that promises something more personal than a standard team-up.
