Grace Balin

Grace Balin made her DC Comics debut in Batman #580 in 2000, stepping into the Modern Age alongside some of the most iconic figures in Gotham — Batman, Alfred Pennyworth, and Dick Grayson among them. Though her catalog footprint is modest at six appearances spread across Batman, Nightwing, and Detective Comics, she's moved in genuinely distinguished company, and any character who shares pages with the Dark Knight himself is worth a second look for dedicated Bat-fans hunting for hidden corners of Gotham's sprawling mythology. Created by Larry Hama and Scott McDaniel, she's a quiet discovery waiting for collectors who love digging beneath the surface of the Batman universe.
