You can take a look at our Batman: Modern Age Reading Order, but you can start fresh with this run – if you want to fully enjoy your read, there’s a book you can check out. What to read before Grant Morrison’s Batman? At some point, Morrison took a break (Judd Winick and Tony Daniel wrote Batman for a short period of time) and came back to lead us to The New 52. Starting from issue #655, Grant Morrison wrote a long-form story interrupted by events (important one for the era) and launched new series, most notably Batman and Robin and Batman Incorporated.

During his time on the book, from 2006 to 2013, he created Damian Wayne – and you can find more information about that here – and took the Dark Knight from the brink of death to the edge of madness. He looked back in the past to build the future of the Caped Crusader. Grant has also written best-selling runs on JLA, Seven Soldiers of Victory and New X-Men and helped to reinvent the DC Universe in The Multiversity, All-Star Superman, 52, Batman, Batman & Robin and Batman, Incorporated.After Infinite Crisis and before Scott Snyder’s run, at the end of what is called the “Modern Age” or the “ Post-Crisis era“, Grant Morrison was in command of Batman and wrote one of the most celebrated (debated?) runs on the character.

These blockbuster stories, including the now-classic Batman & Son, Batman: The Black Glove and Batman R.I.P., feature a deconstruction of superhero comics like no other, with a challenging, thought-provoking take on the man behind the cowl. Now collecting the entirety of this epic saga, this first of three omnibus collections introduces Batman to his son, Damian Wayne, and takes the Caped Crusader from the brink of death to the edge of madness.

One of the greatest storytellers of his generation, Grant Morrison's arrival in the world of the Dark Knight changed the character forever.
