“Batman Year Two Chapter One: Fear the Reaper”

In "Batman Year Two Chapter One: Fear the Reaper," the long-missing vigilante known as the Reaper resurfaces in Gotham City, reigniting old fears just as Bruce Wayne begins a new relationship with Rachel Caspian. With the Reaper's violent return leaving Batman battered and questioning his methods, he confronts a chilling moral dilemma—using the very gun that killed his parents to stop a killer whose identity remains hidden. Written by Mike W. Barr and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Alan Davis—his cover pencils joined by Paul Neary’s inks—this issue marks a pivotal moment in Batman’s evolution, where justice and vengeance blur.
