Batman: The Golden Age Omnibus #3
In "The Joker Reforms!", Bruce Wayne’s vacation takes a dark turn when his return coincides with a disturbing shift in his behavior—toward Dick Grayson, he’s cold, dismissive, even cruel. But before Robin can confront the impostor, a desperate radio call reveals the truth: the real Bruce has been kidnapped by a madman who’s impersonating the billionaire while targeting the wealthy. Written by Joe Samachson and brought to life with crisp, classic flair by Dick Sprang and Norm Fallon, this story from the Golden Age Omnibus #3 captures the eerie tension of identity and deception. The cover, a striking portrait by Darwyn Cooke, perfectly encapsulates the mystery at the heart of the tale.
