About this Collection

This 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.
