Fighting crime in Gotham City is a full-time job — one that Batman has been doing for the past 85 years, and he’s not slowing down! As one of the most popular DC Comics heroes, the Caped Crusader always stars in many series, from his adventures in the main continuity to the Absolute version and other stories set in different realities.
DC Comics releases many books featuring the Dark Knight every year, in different formats, and it can sometimes be hard to keep track of when a book is coming out, whether it’s the latest omnibus, a new edition of an old series, a reprint, or the latest volume in a new collection.
To help you keep track of what Batman is up to, we have compiled a list of what’s coming in the second half of 2025 and the beginning of 2026. Don’t forget to check out our Batman guide to find out where each story fits into his timeline.
