World's Finest Comics #61
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Superman's Blackout!", the Joker turns his usual chaos against Batman with a twisted game of intimidation—holding Robin hostage and forcing Batman to commit crimes or face the consequences. Written by David Vern and brought to life by Bob Kane, Lew Sayre Schwartz, and Charles Paris, this 1952 tale blends classic caped heroics with a rare psychological edge. The cover by Win Mortimer captures the tension in bold, dynamic lines.
When the Joker turns the tables on Batman by using one of his own tricks to catch a criminal, he’s furious — and vows revenge. Now, with Robin held captive, the Joker forces Batman to commit a series of crimes, testing the Dark Knight’s resolve and pushing him to the edge of his moral code.
