Issue Description

Set before issue #1, Batman is trying to solve a group of murders that he thinks have been commited by Zsasz, who is a murderous mastermind who slices himself after every kill, but he learns that Zsasz is locked away in Arkham, so Batman and Jim Gordon devise a plan to get Batman inside Arkham Asylum. They fake a police officer's death and blame Batman and have him declared insane so that he will be put in Arkham. Jeremiah Arkham does not know about this, because they think he may be involved, and so he begins to try and "cure" Batman.

Batman: Shadow of the Bat (1992)

Publisher

DC Comics

Volume Description

Batman: Shadow of the Bat, was first published in June of 1992, running 94 issues plus a #0 issue and #1000000 issue until it was canceled in February of 2000. It was quickly replaced by Gotham Knights.

Started as a showcase for Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle, (and after a short time just Grant). Once Grant was no longer on the title, the creative teams changed for just about every story arc.

For the most part each arc was intended to be self- contained within the Shadow of the Bat series, though much of the book was eventually just used as part of Bat-Family crossovers such as Knightfall and No Man's Land.

Brian Stelfreeze provided covers for much of the run.
