Below you’ll find all DC Universe comics written by Grant Morrison with a primary focus on Batman, plus some recommended reading for stories that influenced Morrison’s run. Since 2006 is far from the first time Grant Morrison wrote a story involving Batman, I’ve also included Morrison’s work on the character prior to his seminal run. The length of Morrison’s time on Batman spans the aftermath of Infinite Crisis on into DC’s New 52. The Batman run also intersects with Morrison’s Final Crisis , a cosmic twist on the Fourth World mythos.

Developments throughout the Morrison run include the introduction of Damian Wayne, Professor Pyg, and an all-new Batman and Robin. Grant Morrison’s DC Comics span a number of characters and nearly all corners of the DC Multiverse, but due to its complex excellence, Morrison’s most well-known contribution may always be his six years on Batman.Īlready a comic book writing legend, Morrison brought a love of Silver Age Batman up to date with modern sensibilities and Morrison’s own controlled chaos.
