About the cover

The cover of Batman #291 is striking, with Batman's head looming ominously over the title. Below, a mock trial takes place, depicting the Riddler, Catwoman, Lex Luthor, and the Joker assembled with a noose binding them together. They stand before Batman’s gravestone, etched with “Batman Died 1977 May He Rest in Peace” and crossed out with “Burn in Hell!” in red. This dramatic scene, illustrated by Jim Aparo, captures the dark and gripping tone of the narrative inside.
