Who is Rory Regan?

Rory Regan is the mystical DC hero Ragman, a Gotham City rag-and-junk dealer who inherits a patchwork suit of rags carrying the souls of sinners, binding him to a legacy of street-level justice.

Rory Regan stepped onto the Bronze Age DC stage in 1978, introduced by Paul Levitz and Joe Staton in The Batman Family — already rubbing shoulders with the likes of Batman, Robin, Green Lantern, and The Flash from the very start. Over nearly four decades his story wound through titles like Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, Shadowpact, and DC Universe: Legacies, marking him as a quietly enduring corner of the DC universe. He's the kind of character who rewards the dedicated reader — a figure whose presence across 39 years of comics speaks to a lasting resonance that collectors and lore-hunters alike have good reason to seek out.
