Detective Comics #793
In "The Surrogate Part Three: Deliverance," Batman finds himself in a race against time as he helps Dr. Thompkins deliver a child amidst the rubble of a collapsed building, all while tracking Mr. Freeze and uncovering a dangerous power shift in Gotham’s Hill district. Written by Andersen Gabrych and brought to life with sharp, atmospheric art by Pete Woods—inked by Cam Smith, colored by Jason Wright, and lettered by Clem Robins—this tense, grounded chapter blends high-stakes urgency with the emotional weight of a life on the line. Tim Sale’s striking cover captures the moment’s intensity, a fitting frame for a story where survival and secrets are just as vital as the fight for justice.
