Deb Donovan

Deb Donovan is a sharp, tenacious investigative reporter operating in Gotham City, whose digging brings her into the orbit of Batman, Bruce Wayne, and the Bat-family.

Sharp, tenacious, and impossible to ignore, Deb Donovan burst onto the DC scene in 2021 courtesy of the creative team of Mariko Tamaki and Dan Mora — a Modern Age debut right in the pages of Detective Comics, one of the most storied titles in comics history. In her brief but memorable run, she keeps formidable company, sharing the page with the likes of Bruce Wayne, Batman, Barbara Gordon, Batgirl, and Oracle — the very heart of Gotham's world. With 13 catalog appearances concentrated in just 2021–2022, she's a compact, purposeful presence in a corner of DC where every character earns their place. If you love street-level Gotham storytelling with a modern edge, Deb Donovan is a name worth bookmarking.
