In "Death of Innocence," Batman races to stop a killer who’s emulating the very comic book that once inspired him—turning a fictional vigilante into a real-life nightmare. Written by John Ostrander and brought to life with sharp, moody art by Flint Henry and Mike McKone, this 1990 issue blends psychological tension with the shadows of Gotham’s past. The cover, a striking piece by Dick Sprang, captures the eerie weight of the story’s central mystery.
