“Rat Trap”

In "Rat Trap," Batman plunges into Gotham’s sewers to confront Ratcatcher, a villain whose twisted revenge targets those he blames for his incarceration. Written by John Wagner and Alan Grant, with moody, detailed art by Norm Breyfogle, this 1988 issue delivers a tense, claustrophobic showdown beneath the city, where fear and rats run rampant.
