Batman: Ten Nights of the Beast

In this 1994 DC one-shot, writer Jim Starlin and artist Jim Aparo pit Batman against the Soviet super-soldier known as the KGBeast in a tense, Cold War-era thriller. The story follows the Dark Knight as he races to stop the Beast's deadly mission on American soil, a high-stakes confrontation that tests Batman's wits and resolve. A standalone tale from the post-Crisis era, it stands as a focused, action-driven chapter in the Batman mythos.
