Batman: The Dark Knight Detective #5

In "Cats," writer Alan Grant and artist Norm Breyfogle deliver a gritty, grounded tale where a young boy’s ecology project takes an unexpected turn when he rides along on his father’s trash route—only to stumble into a clash between rival waste haulers, forcing Batman into an unlikely intervention. With Breyfogle’s signature moody art and Todd Klein’s sharp lettering, this 2021 issue captures the quiet tension of Gotham’s streets, spotlighting a moment where the city’s smallest jobs intersect with its biggest protector.
