Batman by Chip Zdarsky Omnibus Vol. 1

Batman by Chip Zdarsky Omnibus Vol. 1 kicks off a bold new era as the Dark Knight confronts his greatest fears, darkest futures, and deadliest rivals while Gotham burns around him. Eisner Award–winning writer Chip Zdarsky launches an epic, character‑defining run that pushes Bruce Wayne to his breaking point and beyond. From the emergence of the terrifying Failsafe protocol to a bleak alternate Gotham without Batman, Bruce is tested in body, mind, and soul. The Gotham War erupts as Batman clashes with Catwoman and Red Hood walks a dangerous line, with alliances fracturing and the city’s future hanging in the balance. With dynamic art by Jorge Jiménez, Mike Hawthorne, and more, this omnibus collects the explosive early chapters of Zdarsky’s tenure and redefines what it means to be the Bat. Collects Batman #125–138, Catwoman #57–58, Batman: Urban Legends #1–6, and Gotham War tie‑ins.
