“Batman's Longest Case”

In "Batman's Longest Case," the legend of Knute Brody—the perpetually failed henchman who's outlasted every boss in Gotham—takes a startling turn as the truth behind his repeated failures begins to unravel. Written by Paul Dini and illustrated by Dustin Nguyen, with inks by Derek Fridolfs and colors by John Kalisz, this milestone issue reveals a mystery that stretches back through years of Gotham's criminal underworld. The cover by Jim Lee and Scott Williams captures the moment the city's most enduring myth begins to crack.
