Justice League #38

Part of the New 52 era's ambitious Justice League run, this March 2015 issue crackles with intrigue right from its Jim Lee and Scott Williams cover — Batman, bathed in surging blue-white electricity, strains with a ferocity rarely seen from the Dark Knight as arcs of energy tear across his gauntlets and cape. The cover's bold question — "What are the strange new powers of Batman?" — sets the tone perfectly for Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok's "Amazo Virus" storyline. It's a genuinely compelling visual hook that makes this chapter of the arc hard to pass up.
