Tales of the Batman - Tim Sale #[nn]
In "Madmen Across the Water," James Robinson and Tim Sale deliver a stark, atmospheric tale where Batman confronts the unsettling Mr. Lime, only to face the chilling escalation of the Cavalier’s brutal vendetta. With Tim Sale’s signature moody art and Steve Oliff’s restrained coloring, this 2008 issue captures a Gotham where violence and desperation blur, and even the line between justice and mercy begins to fray.
