Batman Superband #23

In "Roter Himmel," Batman finds himself entangled in a tense standoff as the Cat, desperate to clear her name after being framed for a string of murders, pleads with the enigmatic Nocturna for help. With Batman wary of Nocturna’s methods yet drawn to her mysterious allure, the situation escalates when the Cat attacks her—forcing Batman to confront not just an enemy, but his own growing feelings. Written by Doug Moench and illustrated by Tom Mandrake, with colors by Adrienne Roy and a striking cover also by Mandrake, this 1986 issue blends psychological tension and emotional complexity in a story that lingers long after the final page.
