Batman #677 2008

Batman #677, published by DC in 2008, is the second part of the impactful "Batman R.I.P." storyline, "Batman in the Underworld." Batman confronts a Black Glove thug in the sewers, unknowingly exposed to a drug that makes him vulnerable to Dr. Hurt's psychological triggers. As Bruce Wayne introduces Jezebel Jet to the Batcave, the Black Glove attacks, setting the cave ablaze and gravely injuring Alfred. This issue is notable for advancing the Black Glove's plot to shatter Batman's mind and for the activation of the "Zur-En-Arrh" trigger.
