Perkins moves from that intense opening close-up into an expansive layout that really hammers home the power dynamic between these two icons. The opening panel gives us a great look at the aftermath of the military installation breach, with the brushwork anchoring the figures against the industrial backdrop while keeping a grounded, gritty feel to the fallen soldiers. It’s a sequence that captures the high-stakes reality of this 1939 set Gotham, using the environment to keep the focus squarely on the tense confrontation at the center of the frame.

The tension only ramps up in the subsequent panels as we pull in for some fantastic, tight close-ups that show off Perkins’ knack for nuanced facial expressions. This leads into a clever narrative pivot in the final panel, where the focus shifts to a great tactile detail on the utility belt as the Bat-Man readies a countermeasure. Those subtle wash tones compliment the line work beautifully here, building some serious anticipation for a shift in the encounter and showing how Perkins uses small details to drive the whole story forward.
