    The second installment in a classic painted anthology (SUPERMAN: PEACE ON EARTH, SHAZAM!: POWER OF HOPE, WONDER WOMAN: SPIRIT OF TRUTH) by Emmy Award-winning producer Paul Dini and acclaimed artist Alex Ross.

Seeing a mirror reflection of his younger self, the Dark Knight ponders his own life paths as he examines the nature of crime as it ubiquitously permeates from the Gotham streets to the corporate suites.
