Legends of the Dark Knight #12

Part two of the "Prey" arc finds Batman in a gritty bar brawl, as depicted on Paul Gulacy and Terry Austin's kinetic cover — the Dark Knight grapples with a hulking, muscle-bound opponent amid liquor bottles, a wall clock, and the dim glow of a hanging lamp. The dynamic composition captures the rawness and street-level tension that made Doug Moench and Paul Gulacy's collaboration on this 1990 series so compelling. If you appreciate Batman pushed to his physical limits in a grounded, noir-tinged setting, this issue belongs in your collection.
