Batman: Kings of Fear #[nn]
In "Kings of Fear Chapter One: Split Decision," Batman confronts the Joker only to face a far more dangerous aftermath when the clown prince of crime triggers a full-scale uprising at Arkham Asylum. With the asylum in chaos and the Scarecrow slipping away, Batman must fight through a tide of inmates—his brutal efficiency tested like never before. Written by Scott Peterson and brought to life with moody, atmospheric art by Kelley Jones (pencils and inks), this issue delivers a tense, grounded showdown where every shadow feels like a threat. The cover, also by Jones, captures the moment of reckoning with chilling precision.
