“Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? Part 2 of 2”

In "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? Part 2 of 2," Batman confronts haunting visions alongside his mother, grappling with the fragile line between dream and reality. Written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Andy Kubert, with inks by Scott Williams and colors by Alex Sinclair, this emotionally resonant finale explores the legacy of the Dark Knight in a story that lingers long after the final page. The cover, also by Andy Kubert, captures the weight of that moment in shadow and silence.
