Detective Comics #665

In "Lightning Changes [Knightfall 16]," Batman's recovery is far from complete, leaving Jean-Paul Valley to step into the cowl—only to find the role consuming him. As Jean-Paul grapples with the weight of the Batman mantle, his sense of justice begins to fray, forcing Robin to choose between loyalty and warning Bruce Wayne. With tensions rising and identities blurring, the line between protector and predator grows dangerously thin. Written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Graham Nolan, with inks by Dick Giordano, colors by Adrienne Roy, and letters by John Costanza, the issue's cover by Kelley Jones captures the storm of doubt at its heart.
