Batman: Face the Face

In this 2006 DC Comics storyline, writer James Robinson and artist Leonard Kirk navigate Batman's return to a Gotham City that has moved on in his absence, with Harvey Dent now operating as a conflicted vigilante. The single-issue arc serves as a pivotal character study, exploring the fragile trust between Bruce Wayne and his former ally while setting the stage for the next era of Gotham's protector. Robinson's nuanced script and Kirk's grounded artwork give this chapter a thoughtful, noir-tinged weight within the broader post-Infinite Crisis landscape.
