BATMAN #5

Batman #5 teams Matt Fraction’s sharp, character-forward writing with Jorge Jimenez’s kinetic pencils for a date-night that careens from charming to chilling. In this issue, Bruce Wayne takes a rare night out with Dr. Annika Zeller, only to find her experimental Crown of Storms marking them for deadly trouble. What begins as a tense, romance-tinted evening soon spirals as they dodge the ruthless 000 Gang and the eye of a lethal predator known as Lady Death Man. Fraction’s dialogue crackles with wit, while Jimenez’s art sells every pulse-pounding moment—from neon-soaked cityscapes to close-quarters confrontations. This stand-alone chapter deepens Batman’s world while delivering popcorn-worthy action, suspense, and surprising emotional beats, all wrapped in lush, dynamic visuals. A must for fans of modern, stylish Batman storytelling and bold, cinematic storytelling.
