In "Batman Year Two Chapter Three: Deadly Allies," Batman confronts the Reaper in a tense cat-and-mouse game that takes a chilling turn when he uses the very gun that killed his parents as bait.

Barr and brought to life with striking art by Todd McFarlane, the cover by McFarlane and Pablo Marcos captures the issue’s dark, suspenseful tone.
