Detective Comics #654 1992

In Detective Comics #654, Batman faces a new and unusual adversary: Ulysses H. Armstrong, a child prodigy with a ruthless military mind who dubs himself "The General." Armstrong gathers Gotham's street gangs into his "War Dogs" to challenge the city's criminal hierarchy and Batman himself, even wounding the Caped Crusader. This issue is highly notable to collectors as it marks the very first appearance of The General, a character who later evolves into the significant Batman villain, Anarky. It also serves as a prelude to the iconic Knightfall saga.
