Batman is as popular as ever, with multiple movies in the works, a recent animated series gaining traction, and the nearly endless LEGO set releases. There’s never been a better time to be a fan of the Dark Knight, but what if you’re one of the few people new to the DC comics hero? The best place to get into Batman is where he got his start – the comics. We’ve broken down every upcoming Batman-focused comic series and graphic novel coming in 2025.
Even if you’re a comics veteran, it can often be hard to keep up with current releases and the hottest new story arcs, so we’ve got you covered. Scott Snyder’s Absolute Batman and legendary duo Jim Lee’s and Jeph Loebs’ return to Batman with Hush 2 are must-read ongoing stories this year. We’re also getting some other great collections of the best Batman graphic novels in both hardcover and trade paperback, like Year Zero and Haunted Knight. Read on for every upcoming Batman single issue, collection, omnibus, and more coming for the rest of this year.
Please note: The way single comic issue solicitations works means we won’t have that info for the entire year just yet. Check back periodically for updates on new releases.
