Red Hood / Arsenal #4

From the cover by Howard Porter, issue #4 of this New 52-era series drops Jason Todd's Red Hood and Roy Harper's Arsenal right into a citywide brawl — and the banner confirms it's a "Brawl with Batman." The cover is a kinetic pile-up: Arsenal hoists a massive chunk of machinery overhead while Red Hood grapples at the base of the carnage, both tangling with a hulking armored figure whose glowing red eye and bat-themed silhouette suggest this confrontation is anything but friendly; bats swarm a full moon above a Gotham skyline in the background. With Scott Lobdell writing and Denis Medri on interior art, "Gotham Born, Part One" looks like a promising escalation for this gritty duo's ongoing adventures together.
