☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the six-issue miniseries Batman '89, a direct sequel to Tim Burton's 1989 film. Written by Sam Hamm with art by Joe Quinones, the story continues the adventures of Michael Keaton's Batman and Billy Dee Williams' Two-Face in a world that expands on the movie's aesthetic and plot threads.
"Shadows Chapter One" kicks off a gripping new chapter in the Batman '89 series, written by Sam Hamm and brought to life by Joe Quinones’ dynamic art and Leonardo Ito’s vivid colors. When Batman’s clash with police leaves an innocent dead, Harvey and Barbara team up to uncover the truth—while a vigilante unknown to Gotham begins stepping in where Batman has failed. The cover, also by Joe Quinones, captures the tension of a city caught between shadows and justice.
In "Shadows Chapter One" from Batman '89, Harvey Dent—now engaged to Barbara Gordon—turns his fury on Commissioner Gordon, convinced Batman’s presence is fueling Gotham’s chaos. As the city teeters on the edge, Dent’s crusade against the Dark Knight takes a dangerous personal turn.
In "Shadows Chapter Two" from Batman '89, Batman finds himself at odds with the police after a deadly confrontation leaves an innocent bystander dead. As Harvey and Barbara work to uncover the truth, Harvey joins a neighborhood council in Burnside, determined to end the cycle of violence—only to face a gang pretending to be Batman, until an unknown masked figure steps in to stop them.
In "Shadows Chapter Three," Harvey's desperate attempt to save Drake leaves him burned and broken, both body and mind. As Bruce Wayne is hailed as a savior for pulling Harvey from the flames, the weight of that praise only deepens Harvey's unraveling.
In "Shadows Chapter Four" from Batman '89, the fragile peace in Burnside cracks as police and citizens clash, pushing Drake to don a new identity in the shadows. As tensions escalate, he confronts Bruce Wayne at Wayne Manor with a secret that changes everything—his knowledge of Bruce’s true identity. Meanwhile, Harvey’s unraveling spirals further when he escapes the hospital, vanishing into the city’s underbelly.
In "Shadows Chapter Five," Two-Face orchestrates a high-stakes heist while Barbara clings to the fragile hope that the man beneath the coin remains. Batman mentors Drake as Robin, their partnership tested as they close in on a criminal mastermind whose past and present collide in the shadows.
In "Shadows Finale," Batman, wounded after a brutal clash with Two-Face, is pulled from the wreckage by Selina and Drake. With the truth of Bruce Wayne’s identity now exposed and a damning file in hand, Harvey Dent—driven by a twisted vision of justice—moves to purge Gotham with ruthless finality.
