Batman: Shadow of the Bat #92

Part of DC's sprawling 1999 "No Man's Land" crossover event, this issue pitches the chaos of a lawless Gotham into sharp relief. The cover by Scott McDaniel and Klaus Janson puts a heavily armored GCPD officer front and center — baton raised, shield at the ready — while a battered Superman in civilian glasses is forced to the ground by additional soldiers, all set against a stormy skyline crackling with lightning and bats. Devin K. Grayson writes "Stormy Weather," with interior art by Dale Eaglesham and John Floyd bringing the tension inside.
