 Suddenly, a Batman popped up within the triangle… and it was clearly (to my trained geek eyes) a Batman drawn by Matt Wagner[*see update below]  My memory immediately placed it as perhaps one of the cover images from Wagner's "Batman & The Mad Monk" miniseries from the early 2000s (wherein Wagner wrote & drew a[...]
