“The 'I' of the Beholder”

In "The 'I' of the Beholder," Batman and Robin confront the enigmatic villain Mirage, whose powers twist perception with vivid illusions that blur the line between truth and deception. As Hamilton Hill takes office following Reeves' failed attempt to expose Batman, the Dark Knight grapples with his dual life, stepping down as CEO of Wayne Enterprises and entrusting Lucius with the company, while also reuniting with Vicki and navigating new personal connections. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Don Newton, with inks by Frank Chiaramonte, colors by Adrienne Roy, and letters by John Costanza, this 1982 issue features a cover by Rich Buckler and Dick Giordano.
