“Batman Year Two Chapter Two: Deal with the Devil”

In "Batman Year Two Chapter Two: Deal with the Devil," Bruce's growing bond with Rachel takes a backseat as Batman confronts the Reaper once more—this time by allying with a shadowy cabal of mob bosses. With the stakes higher than ever, he teams up with Joe Chill, a ruthless enforcer, in a dangerous gamble to stop a killer who believes in a twisted code of justice. Written by Mike W. Barr and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Todd McFarlane, the issue's cover by McFarlane and Pablo Marcos captures the dark, high-stakes tension of a hero walking a razor's edge.
