Post-Infinite Crisis

Scott Snyder’s run on Batman starts shortly before the New 52 era began. At this time, Bruce Wayne was working on Batman Incorporated so Dick Grayson was working as Batman in Gotham.

In this era, there are only two major Batman story arcs written by Scott Snyder. The first focuses heavily on Dick Grayson, Commissioner Gordon, and James Gordon Jr. (Reading Order). The second places focus on the Bat-family and the history of Gotham while, somewhat, serving as a transition into the New 52 era.
