Batman

From 2012 to 2017, Panini Deutschland published 59 issues of Batman, a German-language series collecting the core storylines of the New 52 era. Under the steady editorial hand of writers like Steve Kups, Peter Thannisch, and Ralph Kruhm, the series showcased the dark, visceral art of Greg Capullo alongside Francis Manapul and Fernando Pasarin. Anchored by Batman, Bruce Wayne, and his allies Alfred, Dick Grayson, and Tim Drake, this run brought DC’s iconic rogues—including the Joker—to German readers in a cohesive, high-stakes saga. It remains a key entry point for European fans exploring the modern, grimly mythic take on Gotham City.
