In "Scarification," Batman delves deeper into the mystery of a new enemy whose suit bears unsettling echoes of a past he thought buried, as he races to rescue the kidnapped daughter of The Tailor. Written by A. J. Lieberman and illustrated by Jean-Jacques Dzialowski, with inks by Dan Green and colors by Giulia Brusco, the issue unfolds with a tense, atmospheric edge, while Tim Sale’s cover captures the chilling intensity of the confrontation.
