Batman by Tom King Reading Order

This reading order is designed to give an outline of Tom King’s time writing Batman for DC Comics. It attempts to find the best way to showcase the narrative that stretches through this author’s time with the character. It may not encompass every one of the character’s appearances but is an outline of the major ones and the stories that affect them.

The continuity details relating to each specific storyline are explained in the “Review” of each storyline. Every “Review” link will provide a detailed continuity breakdown of that story and will explain any reference the story makes to other aspects of the DC Universe. All of this can be found under the “Continuity” section of each link.

New 52

In this era, Batman was primarily written by Scott Synder (see our “Batman by Scott Synder” Reading Order here) while Tom King primarily cowrote Dick Grayson’s (Reading Order) adventures. However, Batman’s few appearances alongside Dick Grayson give an indication about the type of writing that would follow Batman once Tom King took over the role in the Rebirth era.
