Collection: Batman: Streets of Gotham – DC Comics – (2009–2011) – Volume 1 – #1–21

📘 Series Summary

Launched in the aftermath of Battle for the Cowl, Batman: Streets of Gotham provides a gritty, street-level look at Gotham City through the eyes of its citizens, heroes, and villains. Written by Paul Dini, the legendary architect of Batman: The Animated Series, the book focuses on the new status quo where Dick Grayson has taken up the mantle of Batman. Unlike other titles, this series emphasizes the "streets"—the noir underbelly and the systemic rot that plagues the city.

The series is anchored by the breathtaking, atmospheric watercolor art of Dustin Nguyen. Its narrative backbone is the "House of Hush" saga, which serves as a definitive sequel to the blockbuster Heart of Hush storyline. It explores Thomas Elliot’s obsessive attempt to dismantle the Wayne legacy by masquerading as Bruce Wayne himself. Additionally, the first 13 issues featured a popular Manhunter (Kate Spencer) co-feature, further solidifying the title's reputation as the premier home for Gotham's secondary players and gritty detective work.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

• Features the definitive collaboration of Paul Dini and Dustin Nguyen, known for their cinematic and moody storytelling.
• Showcases "House of Hush" (#14–21), an epic concluding chapter for Tommy Elliot that uncovers dark secrets about the Wayne family history.
• Introduces Abuse (#2), a unique new vigilante who becomes a recurring ally to the Dynamic Duo.
• Includes a vicious Victor Zsasz arc (#4, #7–11), depicting the serial killer as a high-stakes gang leader running a "slaughterhouse."
• Contains a complete Manhunter back-up series (#1–13) by Marc Andreyko, perfect for fans of legal thrillers and street-level justice.
• Explores the psychological strain of Dick Grayson stepping into Bruce's boots while dealing with the public "return" of a fake Bruce Wayne.
