☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the first story arc of the manga-inspired series Batman: Justice Buster, originally published in 2023 by DC and Kodansha. It follows Bruce Wayne as Batman, with appearances by allies like Alfred Pennyworth, Dick Grayson, and Commissioner Gordon, while facing off against classic rogues including The Joker, Deathstroke, Killer Croc, and others. The story reimagines Batman’s world with a fresh artistic and narrative approach blending Western and Japanese comic styles.
"Stopped Time" kicks off a tense, high-stakes chapter in Batman’s world, where Clark Kent’s unexpected visit to Bruce Wayne carries more weight than a simple interview—hinting at a larger mission involving the Justice League. As Batman is forced to team up with both the feral Killer Croc and a dangerously unpredictable Joker, the line between ally and enemy blurs in a confrontation that tests his resolve like never before. Written by Eiichi Shimizu and Sheldon Drzka, with art by Tomohiro Shimoguchi and cover by the same, this 2023 DC release delivers a gripping blend of psychological tension and explosive action.
In "Stopped Time," Batman faces off against Firefly in a high-stakes clash that pushes him to the edge, wielding the experimental armored suit known as The Justice Buster. Powered by an AI named Robin and armed with cutting-edge tech, Batman must navigate the suit’s unpredictable edge—where control and chaos blur—before the fight spirals beyond his command.
In "The World That the Little Bird Sees," Batman digs into a sudden, mysterious shift in Gotham’s financial landscape, only to find The Penguin just as baffled by the movement of the city’s entrepreneur assets—leaving both men questioning who’s really pulling the strings. The story unfolds with sharp, grounded tension, revealing a web of intrigue that’s as much about perception as it is about power.
