About the series
In the wake of Batman's apparent death, Batman: Streets of Gotham (2009–2011) shifted the focus from the caped crusader to the city's sprawling cast of heroes, vigilantes, and everyday citizens. Written primarily by Paul Dini, Marc Andreyko, and Mike Benson, with art from Dustin Nguyen, Ramón Bachs, and Jeremy Haun, this 21-issue DC series explored Gotham's underbelly through interwoven tales of characters like the new Batman, Robin, and Manhunter. It matters as a grounded, character-driven companion to the larger "Batman Reborn" era, emphasizing that the city's heart beats in its streets.
