Batman Poche #16
In "Le témoignage de Luthor," a courtroom drama takes a shocking turn when the Joker takes the stand, claiming to have killed Batman—only to be challenged by Two-Face, who demands proof. As the trial unfolds, the real identity behind the mask begins to unravel, revealing a meticulously staged performance by Batman himself. Written by David Vern and illustrated by John Calnan with inks by Tex Blaisdell and colors by Jerry Serpe, this 1978 French edition from Sage - Sagédition features a striking cover by Jim Aparo, capturing the tension of a case that’s far from what it seems.

The Joker testifies to the circumstances whereby he killed Batman, but when Two-Face demands that the Joker produce the photographic evidence he claims to have, a recess is called. After Two-Face leaves the court, he removes his disguise, revealing the Batman beneath. Having identified the real murderer, Batman confronts the Joker and sends him back to Arkham. Later, Batman confers with Commissioner Gordon and discusses how it was really Batman-admirer Jerry Randall in a Batman costume that the Joker had killed and how the trial was a ruse to discover who was actually responsible.
