Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #168

In "Urban Legend," Batman—disoriented and with no memory of how he came to be in his current state—struggles to piece together his mission and find his way home, where the line between reality and deception begins to blur. Written by Bill Willingham and brought to life by Tom Fowler’s stark interiors and James Sinclair’s evocative colors, this issue from 2003 presents a chilling psychological twist on the Dark Knight’s resolve. The cover by Phil Hale captures the eerie, fractured atmosphere with striking precision.
