About this Collection

This volume collects the 'Fall of the Batmen' storyline from the Rebirth era of Detective Comics, following Batman and his extended team as they face a devastating attack from the villainous group known as the Colony. The arc sees Tim Drake's Robin and the rest of the Bat-family pushed to their limits, with high stakes and major consequences for the team's dynamic. Written by James Tynion IV with art by various artists, it's a pivotal chapter in the series that reshapes the status quo for Gotham's protectors.

In "New Blood," Batman faces growing pressure as anti-mask sentiment, fueled by mayoral candidate Nakano and the Mirror, turns public opinion against him. With Damian missing and the Black Casebook in his hands, Bruce must track his son while uncovering a chilling mystery tied to a series of unsolved attacks from his teenage years. Written by Peter J. Tomasi and illustrated by Bilquis Evely, with colors by Mat Lopes and letters by Rob Leigh, this issue blends personal stakes with a city on edge. The cover by Brad Walker and Andrew Hennessy captures the tension in a striking, shadowed portrait of Batman.
