Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #140

Part four of five in the "Terror" arc, this 2001 installment drops readers into a graveyard showdown that feels genuinely unsettling. The cover by Paul Gulacy and Jimmy Palmiotti places a snarling Catwoman in the grip of the burlap-masked Scarecrow, while Batman lurks watchfully among the headstones — including, notably, the grave of Thomas and Martha Wayne. Doug Moench, Gulacy, and Palmiotti deliver a tense chapter that promises fear, atmosphere, and high stakes with the arc's climax just one issue away.
