Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #203

Batman strains under an impossible burden against a vast, star-filled sky on Ariel Olivetti's striking cover for this June 2006 issue — the Dark Knight, mask askew and mouth open in raw exertion, hauls a massive armored figure whose grimacing face peers out from a reinforced suit. Wrapping up "Cold Case," the third and final chapter of "Legacies," this issue brings Christos N. Gage's story to a close with art by Ron Wagner and inks by Bill Reinhold. The wintry setting framing the scene hints at a grueling physical and emotional conclusion to this arc.
