Batman by Matt Fraction Vol. 1 On Sale Date: June 2, 2026

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.

This volume collects Batman #1-6.
