Batman: Outlaws #3

This concluding chapter of the Batman: Outlaws prestige-format miniseries brings together a striking assembly of Gotham's finest on a cover by Paul Gulacy and Charles Yoakum: Batman looms at the center with fists raised, flanked by Nightwing on the left and Huntress — cross pendant and all — on the right, while Robin holds his staff ready in the foreground. The title Outlaws takes on a satisfying weight when you see these four heroes united yet clearly battle-hardened, their expressions suggesting the stakes of "Chapter Five: Covert Action" are anything but routine. Doug Moench and Paul Gulacy's 2000 collaboration wraps up here in style, making this a fine capstone to one of DC's more grounded Bat-family stories of that era.
