This beautiful piece features Batman standing atop a roof in the driving rain, seemingly pulling up his foe by the leg with his batrope, as Robin reaches out to him from the floor below. The cover features absolutely stunning architecture, rendered with the realism and intricate detail that Perkins is so famous for, as well as his signature ink wash delineating the sky.
