Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #157

The second chapter of the "Blink" arc arrives in this 2002 installment of Legends of the Dark Knight, with a Brian Stelfreeze cover that pulls you right into the chaos — a young person in an orange shirt scrambles desperately across a cluttered room while Batman looms in the shadows above, and the lurking green presence of a monstrous figure dominates the left side of the composition. The fragmented, panicked energy of the scene hints at a story that keeps ordinary people caught between predator and protector. With Dwayne McDuffie writing and Val Semeiks on interior art, this middle chapter promises the kind of grounded, character-driven tension that made Legends such a rewarding corner of the Batman universe.
