Batman – DC Comics – (2011–2016) – Volume 2 – #0–52

📘 Series Summary

Launching as a cornerstone of the DC New 52 initiative, the second volume of Batman represents one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful runs in modern comic book history. Spearheaded by the visionary creative duo of writer Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo, this 52-issue series redefined the mythology of the Dark Knight for the 21st century. The run moved away from traditional detective stories to present epic, horror-tinged sagas that challenged the very foundations of Gotham City.

The series began with the paradigm-shifting Court of Owls storyline, introducing a secret society that had ruled Gotham from the shadows for centuries. From there, Snyder and Capullo delivered definitive Joker stories in Death of the Family and Endgame, and reimagined Bruce Wayne's earliest days in the year-long Zero Year epic. Over five years, this volume became the gold standard for superhero storytelling, balancing blockbuster action with deep psychological exploration of the man behind the cowl.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • The complete New 52 run by the legendary team of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo.
  • Introduction of the Court of Owls and the Talons, the most significant addition to the Batman mythos in decades.
  • Features Zero Year (#21–33), the definitive modern origin story for the New 52 Batman.
  • Home to the terrifying Death of the Family crossover, featuring the Joker's gruesome return with his own severed face.
  • Significant status-quo changes, including the Superheavy arc where Jim Gordon takes over the mantle of Batman.
  • Consistent, high-tier visual storytelling from Greg Capullo, whose pencils defined the look of Gotham for a generation.
