In "Catch as Catscan," the legacy of Gotham's darkest secrets resurfaces when Joseph, son of Joe Chill, dons the Reaper mantle, forcing Rachel Caspian to confront her past. Written by Mike W. Barr and illustrated with sharp precision by Alan Davis, this issue blends psychological tension with the weight of inherited trauma, as Batman faces a twisted test of will against a killer who knows his most vulnerable moment. The cover by Alan Davis and Paul Neary captures the eerie intensity of a city haunted by its own history.
