About this Collection

This new edition of the first Bronze Age omnibus collects Batman's early team-up adventures from The Brave and the Bold, featuring the Dark Knight partnering with a wide array of DC heroes during the 1970s. The volume reprints issues from the series' run where Batman became the regular co-star, showcasing stories written primarily by Bob Haney with art by Jim Aparo and others. It's a comprehensive look at a pivotal era that helped define the character's place in the broader DC Universe through dynamic, standalone team-ups.

"Rampant Run the Robots" kicks off a fresh chapter in Batman’s legacy with a compelling new dynamic: Bruce Wayne now has a ward, Lance Bruner, brought into his life through a promise made by Bruce’s father. As Dick and the Titans step in to guide Lance, tensions rise when the boy discovers the truth behind Batman and Robin—setting off a collision course between loyalty, identity, and the price of secrets. Written by Bob Haney and brought to life with powerful art by Neal Adams, this 2018 story pulses with emotional stakes and the unmistakable energy of the Bronze Age, all framed by Karl Kerschl’s striking cover.
