These Batman final pages always stood out for me:

Batman #237 "Night of the Reaper!" In the 1970s stories like this stayed with you for a long time.


Batman #244 "The Demon Lives Again!" Although this is actually the next to last page (the final page is a half-page), its power is undeniable and Neal Adams raised the bar on how we view Batman. Both as a superhero and a man.


Detective Comics #471 "The Dead Yet Live!" Englehart and Rogers revive Hugo Strange and with this shocking ending, make him a major player in Batman's rogue gallery.
