Batman: Jekyll & Hyde

In 2008, DC Comics released this single-issue prestige story, a dark psychological thriller by writer Paul Jenkins and artist Jae Lee that explores the dual nature of Batman and his most monstrous foe. The creators use the classic Jekyll and Hyde allegory to dissect the relationship between the Caped Crusader and the Joker, framing their conflict as a battle between order and chaos within the same fractured psyche. A visually striking and introspective one-shot, it stands as a potent character study from two acclaimed talents at the peak of their collaborative powers.
