At least I think that’s what’s going on here.

Batman hit this guy so hard in the mouth that his hair is bleeding!

from Batman: Odyssey #3

 

That seems a bit excessive, doesn’t it? From the trajectory of the bullets wouldn’t the shooters be across from each other and therefore shoot each other dead? It kinda looks like Adams got lazy, drew two straight lines through Batman’s head and then erased the middle part.

 

To me it looks like Batman is flying up a hole in the ground (Robin is holding on to the wall face). But maybe he is jumping down a hole because Alfred seems to be looking down the hole with a flashlight in hand. Is he jumping forwards in a cave? WTF?

from the terrible (don’t take my word for it, check out the preview) Batman: Odyssey #3 (preview)

(edit)

There’s also a face hidden in the rock. WTFx2.
