Batman: The Golden Age Omnibus #7
In "The Man with a Thousand Eyes!", Killer Moth sheds his old identity to become a chilling imitation of Bruce Wayne, tricking Dick Grayson into believing he’s the real Batman. With a surgically altered face and a plan to turn Gotham against its protector, the impostor Batman escalates his crimes—until a brutal betrayal leaves him broken and amnesiac. Penciled by Bob Kane and Lew Sayre Schwartz, inks by Charles Paris, this classic tale from the Golden Age delivers a twisted identity twist that still packs a punch. The cover, by Evan "Doc" Shaner, captures the eerie transformation in striking detail.

With his Van Cleer alias lost to him, Killer Moth decides to steal the identity of Bruce Wayne (whom he imprisons in a vault), then hires a plastic surgeon to alter his face into an exact double of Wayne's, and fools Dick Grayson into believing he is Wayne and Dick doesn't realize at first. The Moth goes out as Batman, enhancing his criminal reputation by making it appear that Batman fears the Moth. Wayne escapes in time to see Killer Moth shot down by one of his own gang, thinking he's been double-crossed. Moth's face is wrecked by the bullets, and the resultant cranial injury causes amnesia.
