Detective Comics #556

In "The Bleeding Night," Batman confronts the return of Nocturna at the observatory, where red rain falls in eerie sync with the ongoing Crisis on Infinite Earths. With the False Face Society now under her control and Nightslayer picking off its members, Batman must navigate a web of paranoia and bloodshed—while Robin's decision to release Nocturna continues to echo in the shadows. Written by Doug Moench and brought to life with moody precision by Gene Colan, Bob Smith, and Adrienne Roy, this 1985 issue blends gothic dread with the escalating stakes of a universe in upheaval. The cover, penciled by Colan and inked by Dick Giordano, captures the night's ominous beauty.
