In "Dead Reckoning Part Five," Gotham’s darkest corners are haunted by a new threat emerging from Arkham Asylum, where a cunning villain sets his sights on unleashing a wave of chaos. Written by Jon Lewis and brought to life by Stefano Gaudiano’s stark, atmospheric art, this Elseworlds tale pushes Batman to his limits in a city where the line between hunter and hunted blurs. The cover by Tim Sale captures the story’s tense, shadowed mood with his signature precision.
