Bao Pham

Bao Pham is a Gotham City youth introduced during a period of intense chaos in the city, connected to the world of Batman and appearing alongside figures like Clownhunter in the turbulent street-level stories of Gotham's underworld.

Bao Pham burst onto the DC scene in 2020, introduced by the acclaimed creative team of James Tynion IV and Jorge Jiménez in the pages of Batman #96 — a Modern Age debut that dropped them straight into Gotham's most turbulent corners. Over a focused run across Batman, Batman Annual, and Batman: Urban Legends, this character carved out a presence in stories populated by some of DC's most electric figures, sharing pages with Batman himself, Bruce Wayne, Harley Quinn, and the volatile Clownhunter. Seventeen appearances across those years may feel compact, but in the high-stakes world of modern Gotham storytelling, that's a concentrated dose of exactly the kind of street-level intrigue that keeps readers hunting back-issue bins.
