Batman Eternal – DC Comics – (2014–2015) – Volume 1 – #1–52

📘 Series Summary

Published as a massive weekly event to celebrate Batman's 75th anniversary, Batman Eternal is a year-long epic that reshaped the landscape of Gotham City. Spearheaded by Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV, this series utilizes a "writers' room" approach, bringing together top talent like Tim Seeley, Ray Fawkes, Kyle Higgins, and John Layman. The story ignites when a catastrophic train accident leads to the arrest of Commissioner James Gordon, throwing the GCPD into chaos and allowing a mysterious mastermind to tear Gotham apart from the inside out.

This 52-issue saga is a love letter to the Batman mythos, featuring nearly every major ally and villain in the Dark Knight’s arsenal. From the return of Carmine Falcone to the supernatural horrors lurking beneath Arkham Asylum, the series balances street-level detective work with blockbuster superhero action. It serves as a pivotal bridge in the New 52 era, introducing new characters like Bluebird (Harper Row) and Spoiler (Stephanie Brown) back into the fold while testing the strength of the entire Bat-Family under the pressure of a city-wide siege.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • A complete 52-issue weekly saga that provides a dense, cinematic reading experience covering every corner of Gotham.
  • Features a sprawling cast including Red Robin, Batgirl, Red Hood, and the GCPD, making it the definitive "Bat-Family" book of its era.
  • Marks the re-introduction of Stephanie Brown (Spoiler) into the modern DC continuity.
  • Showcases an incredible rotating art team featuring Jason Fabok, Dustin Nguyen, Mikel Janín, and Guillem March.
  • Explores the fall of James Gordon and the political corruption that follows his absence from the police force.
  • Acts as the essential precursor to the follow-up weekly event, Batman & Robin Eternal.
