Batman: Nocturna/Night Thief Saga

In 1983, Doug Moench took over from Gerry Conway as writer of Batman and Detective Comics, continuing Conway's innovative cross-continuity between the two series and ramping up the melodrama of Batman's milieu. Moench's three-year run reached a peak with an extended saga introducing a pair of new villains to alternately bewitch and bedevil the Dark Knight: Nocturna and the Night-Thief!
