Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #183

Part two of the "War Games: Act Two" crossover arrives with a cover by Brian Haberlin that captures Batman lunging forward through smoky Gotham air, cape billowing dramatically behind him, while a watchful older man stands arms-crossed in the shadowed background. The tension between the Dark Knight's urgent motion and that cool, calculating observer gives the image a genuinely unsettling edge. With A. J. Lieberman writing and Brad Walker on interior art, this November 2004 chapter promises the kind of street-level Batman drama that Legends of the Dark Knight did so well.
