DETECTIVE COMICS #1083

Black boots trudge across yellow sands. Grit-laced winds flutter through a tattered cape. Dreamlike mirages of past, present, and hypothetical futures ripple across the sunbaked landscape, the mystery of their appearance only equaled by the question of their existence. This is the Dark Knight's world now, but it doesn't have to be. He can save himself from this dry limbo and return to his city...or can he? Batman's mind and body may never be the same in this harrowing, hallucinatory, and hypnotic tale.
