The Wellington Comic Lover’s Guide to... Batman: Part 2Unpublished

After witnessing the death of his parents at the hands of a petty crook, Bruce Wayne dedicates his life to avenging them. Deciding that Gotham City needs someone who can work outside the law to bring wrongdoers to justice, Bruce trains his mind and body to peak performance and adopts the bat as a symbol to strike fear in the hearts of criminals.

He is vengeance. He is the night. He is Batman!

Given that Batman is one of DC Comic’s most published heroes, this particular guide covers some of the later Batman series. For classic Batman stories, the new 52, and DC rebirth, see Part 1, or read the full guide!
