Batman: Contagion

DC's Batman: Contagion (2016), a single-issue prestige special, revisits the grim 1990s crossover of the same name. Written by Alan Grant with art by Barry Kitson, Bret Blevins, and Dave Taylor, it offers a modern framing for the classic story of a deadly plague sweeping Gotham City. This one-shot serves as a concise, self-contained entry point to that era's sprawling Bat-titles, reminding readers why the original outbreak was such a defining crisis for the Dark Knight.
