In "With This Ring Find Me Dead!", Batman races to the circus to save Kathy Kane, only to arrive too late—she’s been murdered by the League of Assassins. With the trail leading to the Sensei and a deadly confrontation with the Bronze Tiger looming, Batman must confront a threat that reaches deep into his past. Written by Denny O'Neil and brought to life with striking art by Don Newton—his final work on the character—this issue features cover art by Newton and Dick Giordano, blending haunting visuals with a story of vengeance and legacy.
