Story Title: Through the Looking Glass
Writer: Scott Beatty (credited as Vaughan) | Artist: Rick Burchett & John Lowe | Cover Date: December 2003

A haunting mystery unfolds in Detective Comics #787 – Through the Looking Glass. When an eerie series of crimes echo imagery from Alice in Wonderland, Batman must follow the clues down a dark and twisted path through Gotham’s underworld — and into his own fractured psyche.

Written by Scott Beatty and brought to life by Rick Burchett and John Lowe, this issue captures the moody, cerebral tone that defined early-2000s Detective Comics. Sharp linework and noir-inspired storytelling create a psychological thriller that explores reflection, duality, and obsession — everything that makes the Dark Knight’s world so endlessly fascinating.
