Batman: Thrillkiller #[nn]

In this gripping 1998 installment of *Batman: Thrillkiller*, Bruce Wayne is arrested for the murder of Selina Kyle, but escapes custody in a desperate bid to clear his name. With Barbara Gordon throwing off the trail by framing Selina as Batgirl, the truth unravels in a brutal showdown that sees Robin fall to the Joker’s madness. Months later, a reformed Bruce and Barbara return to Gotham under new identities, ready to rebuild—though the shadows of the past still loom. Written by Howard Chaykin and illustrated by Dan Brereton, whose bold, dynamic art defines the issue’s tone, this story marks a pivotal shift in Gotham’s darkest chapter. The cover, also by Brereton, captures the tension with a striking, high-contrast image of Batman’s silhouette against a fractured cityscape.
