Batman's Detective Comics #[nn]

In "The Crime Doctor Calls At Midnight!", the Crime Doctor, aware that Batman knows his true identity, tries to escape Gotham—only to be captured by the sadistic Sterling Silversmith, who subjects him to brutal torture in a desperate bid to uncover Batman’s secret. With the stakes rising and the line between hunter and hunted blurring, the city’s shadows grow darker than ever.

In "13 Points to a Dead End!", Huntress and Sportsmaster engineer a deadly game, setting a series of traps to corner Batgirl and Robin and forcing them into a brutal test of skill and will—where only one can survive. The stakes are life and death, and the tension builds with every step toward an unforgiving finale.

In "Bad Night in Baja," Batman ventures into the sun-scorched streets of Baja Mexico to recover stolen U.S. missile launch codes from the ruthless mercenary known as The Squid, who plans to auction them to the highest bidder. With the documents in hand, he flees into the shadows, wounded and hunted, taking refuge in a rundown hotel where every creak of the floorboard could mean the end.
