Batman #12
In "…Mi Principio… y mi Probable Fin," Mike W. Barr and Sergio Pradera deliver a pivotal re-examination of Batman’s legacy, with Alan Davis’s dynamic art and Paul Neary’s inks bringing a striking visual intensity to a story that revisits the Dark Knight’s origins. Leslie Thompkins, long a steadfast presence in Gotham’s shadows, is revealed to hold a secret that deepens the mystery of Batman’s true identity—adding weight to the mythos in a 1988 issue that stands as a bold chapter in the character’s evolving narrative.
