Batman: Overdrive / Batman Tales: Once Upon a Crime (Special Edition) #1
In "Waynocchio," Damian Wayne’s dream takes a twisted, whimsical turn as he envisions himself as Pinocchio in a surreal Gotham where Bruce Wayne is Geppetto, Zatanna plays the fairy, Alfred doubles as Jiminy Cricket, and Bat-Mite shadows him as a mischievous imp—while the Joker and Harley Quinn run Pleasure Island. Written by Derek Fridolfs and illustrated in full by Dustin Nguyen, this special edition tale blends dark whimsy with the familiar cast in a story that’s as visually striking as it is delightfully strange. The cover, also by Nguyen, captures the eerie charm of the dream sequence in bold, expressive detail.
