Plot

Collects Batman (2025) #1-6

The superstar team of writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jiménez relaunch Batman for the current era, with a fresh take on the Dark Knight and a perfect jumping-on point for fans!

It’s a new day in Gotham! For only the fourth time in the pop culture icon’s vast publication history, DC has reset the number of the flagship Batman series starting with issue #1—and this collection includes the first six issues of the must-read, superhero-forward take from writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jiménez.

This new era celebrates the Dark Knight’s many attributes and evolutions from the character’s 85-plus year history and promises something for every Batman fan, including a new blue-and-grey costume, a new Batmobile, and new villains and allies—along with plenty of classic ones too.

Similar to Fraction’s beloved and influential run on Marvel’s Hawkeye, this Batman series features connected but self-contained stories. Each installment is a new adventure and a new challenge for Fraction and Jiménez to put in front of the Caped Crusader, as they show all of the reasons why Batman is the coolest character in comic books.
