#1046:
Batman in a State of Fear

Detective Comics #1046 is a comic book that deals with the aftermath of previous comics. Batman is all broken after his mission within The Joker War - as can clearly be seen on the cover of this comic book. He deals with fear and does not know how to fight further, which brings a significant big impact to this story.

    The Stories

    The Comic Book of DC’s Comics #1046 contains a total of two stories. The first being “Out and Gone” which is the title story of this Comic Book, and the second being called “Foundations, Finale”. They both are a part of the “Fear State” events and continue onto one another - being a part of the same storyline.

    ”Out and Gone”

    The first comic in Detective Comics #104 is called “Out and Gone”. This comic has Batman as its main-character (as expected), but also features a lot of other characters. Such as Batgirl, Batwoman, Huntress, Oracle, Dr. Chase Meridan, Mayor Chris Nanako, and Deb Donovan. Really important, however, is this story’s antagonist: Ana Vulsion, with this comic book being her first appearing.

    ”Foundations, Finale”

    The other comic in this edition is called “Foundations, Finale” and is a rather special one, as it mostly takes place in Batman’s hallucinations, where characters such as Harley Quinn, Bane, The Joker, and the Riddler appear. However, we also see many other villains, and even Batman’s parents - but all is hallucinations in “Foundations, Finale” of Detective Comics #1046.
