Description
Step into the grim streets of Gotham with Detective Comics #868, a standout issue from DC’s celebrated 2010 run. Written by David Hine with dynamic art from Scott McDaniel and Andy Owens, this story captures the chaos as the Jokerz Gang spreads madness across the city. As the Bat-Signal cuts through the night, Batman faces a terrifying new breed of criminals inspired by the Clown Prince of Crime himself.
This issue delivers the perfect blend of dark atmosphere, urban tension, and psychological intensity that defines the modern Batman mythos. The moody cover art, featuring Batman silhouetted against a full moon as Joker-masked thugs close in, has become a fan-favorite visual in the post-“Batman: RIP” era.
An essential addition for collectors of the Batman: Detective Comics series and fans of Joker-centric storylines, this issue bridges classic detective storytelling with the gritty tone that redefined Gotham in the 2010s.
