In "Dreadful Reins," Batman faces a chilling shift when the Riddler commits a murder without a single riddle—just cold, calculated precision. Written by Tom King and illustrated by Mitch Gerads, this issue reveals a Riddler who no longer needs puzzles to torment the world, having mastered every outcome through a lifetime of obsession and trauma. The cover by Mitch Gerads captures the eerie stillness of a mind that’s always one step ahead.
