Detective Comics #800

In "Alone at Night," Gotham’s future hangs in the balance as Barbara and James Gordon make the difficult decision to leave the city they’ve protected. With Dick Grayson injured and Stephanie Brown gone, Batman stands isolated—his allies scattered, his city under the iron grip of Black Mask and his twisted enforcer, the Mad Hatter. The story, written by Andersen Gabrych and illustrated by Pete Woods with inks by Cam Smith and Drew Geraci, colors by Jason Wright, and letters by Phil Balsman, captures a Gotham at its most vulnerable, where even Catwoman’s presence offers only a flicker of hope. The cover, by Jock, reflects the darkness closing in.
