📘 Series Summary

Return to the world of Tim Burton’s Gotham in Batman '89: Echoes, the direct sequel to the hit Batman '89 miniseries. Original screenwriter Sam Hamm and artist Joe Quinones reunite to expand the cinematic universe that began with Michael Keaton’s Dark Knight. Following the devastating crusade of Harvey Dent, Batman has vanished, leaving Gotham’s citizens to take justice into their own hands—often with tragic results. As the city asks "Where is Batman?", a new era of terror begins to take shape within the walls of Arkham Asylum.

The series introduces "Burton-esque" iterations of iconic villains, featuring a psychological power struggle between Dr. Jonathan Crane (The Scarecrow) and Dr. Harleen Quinzel over a mysterious celebrity patient. With Bruce Wayne’s identity at risk and a viral fear formula threatening to trigger a citywide panic attack, the stakes have never been higher. Echoes is a masterpiece of nostalgia and world-building, utilizing unused concepts from the original film era to deliver the "third movie" fans have wanted for decades.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • Written by Sam Hamm, the screenwriter of the 1989 Batman film, ensuring an authentic cinematic voice.
  • Features Joe Quinones’ incredible character designs that imagine how villains like Scarecrow and Harley Quinn would look in the Tim Burton aesthetic.
  • Explores the "Missing Batman" trope, focusing on the development of Drake Winston and Barbara Gordon in Bruce's absence.
  • A high-stakes Arkham Asylum thriller that pits Jonathan Crane’s cold logic against Harleen Quinzel’s unconventional therapy.
  • Includes a diverse array of modern variant covers from artists like Daniel Warren Johnson, Riley Rossmo, and Rafael Albuquerque.
  • The epic finale (#6) concludes the Jace Fox/Drake Winston arc while Bruce Wayne reclaims his cowl with a vengeance.
