“The Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul, Part Three”

In "The Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul, Part Three," Batman, Talia, and I-Ching close in on Ra's al Ghul’s hidden sanctuary, where the villain presents a chilling ultimatum: choose between Damian or Tim’s body as the vessel for his resurrected mind. Written by Paul Dini and illustrated by Ryan Benjamin, with inks by Saleem Crawford and colors by John Kalisz, this pivotal issue delivers a tense, morally fraught showdown. The cover, a striking piece by Simone Bianchi, captures the moment’s grim intensity.
