Modern Batman

The following trade paperbacks are stories that run through the "contemporary" books of the Batman family. The earliest trade paperback, chronologically speaking, is Frank Miller's "" storyline, which re-birthed the character in the Modern Age, re-telling the first year of his existence and how he came to be. These stories are from comic books still being published and are, in a sense, ongoing. They are listed here in the chronology of the storylines, rather than the publication dates of either the original comics or collections.

''The New 52'' Batman

In 2011, DC Comics rebooted their entire continuity. This relaunched continuity that ran from 2011 to 2016 is known as The New 52. The Batman family of books have also been rebooted. While the history and elements of this new continuity are very similar to the previous one, there are still fundamental differences between them. As such, the following collected works should be treated as a separate canonical entity. The collected works are listed in order of publication date, not in chronological order. This list includes all New 52 titles centered around Batman.

The collected works are listed in order of publication date, not in chronological order. This list includes all DC Rebirth titles centered around Batman. The Dark Nights: Metal event is included here due to its Batman-centric focus.
