Batman Incorporated #11

The Batman of Japan takes center stage on Chris Burnham's dynamic cover for this New 52 installment, the yellow-and-black costumed hero lunging forward with a massive fist while cradling a small schoolgirl in his winged grasp against a bold red circle. It's a striking, manga-inflected composition that gives this global member of Batman Incorporated a well-deserved spotlight moment. With story title "Interlude: A Bird in the Hand" and interior art by Jorge Lucas, issue #11 offers a compelling detour into the international side of Bruce Wayne's worldwide crime-fighting network.
