Batman - Detective Comics Paperback #12

Part of DC's Rebirth initiative, this German-language Batman: Detective Comics collection brings together the work of writer Peter J. Tomasi and artists Kyle Hotz and Doug Mahnke (cover pencils by Mahnke, inked by Jaime Mendoza) in a story arc titled "Es wird Blut fließen." The cover says it all: the Joker — arms raised in gleeful triumph, purple suit blazing against a wall of fire — lords over a roller-coaster car where Batman fights to protect terrified, bound hostages, the Clown Prince's speech bubble declaring "Was für ein Mordsspass!" The tension between Batman's grim determination and the Joker's manic ecstasy crackles right off the page, making this 2021 Panini Deutschland paperback a compelling addition to any Bat-fan's shelf.
