The Batman Strikes #41

Dinner is about to get very complicated in The Batman Strikes! #41, as the cover — penciled by Christopher Jones and inked by Terry Beatty — finds Batman looming ominously over a candlelit restaurant table where Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn are seated, with Harley raising a finger and cheerfully calling out "Check please!" A flustered waiter looks on from the side, making the whole scene feel equal parts comedic and tense. Paired with the story title "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!", this 2008 issue promises a villainous duo at their most entertainingly unpredictable.
