The Man of Steel #3

In "One Night in Gotham City...", Superman arrives in Gotham City with a mission: arrest the outlaw Batman. As the two heroes track down the elusive criminal Magpie, their clash of methods reveals the stark contrast between Gotham’s grim streets and Metropolis’s hopeful skyline. Written and illustrated by John Byrne, with inks by Dick Giordano and colors by Tom Ziuko, this 1986 issue captures a pivotal moment in Superman’s understanding of justice in a city that demands a different kind of hero. The cover, by John Byrne, perfectly frames the tension between the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight.
