About this Collection

This collection brings together the first season of the digital-first series that continues the storylines and visual style of Batman: The Animated Series. Written by Alan Burnett and Paul Dini, with art by Ty Templeton, the volume features new adventures for the Dark Knight, including the introduction of characters like Deathstroke and an updated take on the villainous Red Claw. It collects issues #1-7 of the 2020 series, originally published as a DC Digital First title.

In "Hardware," the Ventriloquist and Scarface—once inseparable partners in crime—find themselves separated after a failed heist, each undergoing therapy at Arkham Asylum. Months later, Arnold Wesker seems transformed, seemingly cured, but as Harley Quinn prepares a lavish Christmas party for Gotham’s rogues, the Joker quietly plots to reignite the duo’s dark partnership. Written by Alan Burnett and Paul Dini, with art by Ty Templeton and inks by Sean Parsons, this story blends psychological tension with the eerie intimacy of a fractured mind, all rendered in Monica Kubina’s vivid colors and AndWorld Design’s sharp lettering. The cover by Dave Johnson captures the unsettling stillness of a man on the edge, just before the mask slips.
