In "The Carpenter's Tale, Part 1 of 2," a chilling mystery unfolds as a faceless woman named Jane Doe severs Tommy Elliot’s Bruce Wayne mask in a desperate bid to flee Wayne Tower. With the city’s shadows deepening and secrets buried beneath Gotham’s streets, Bruce Wayne races to save Tommy—only to confront a threat that blurs the line between identity and illusion. Written by Paul Dini and brought to life with haunting detail by Dustin Nguyen, the cover by Nguyen captures the tension of a city where even a mask can be a weapon.
