Batman Year Two #1 Batman Day 2025 Special Edition (2025)

The Dark Knight’s past returns—with a vengeance! Celebrate Batman Day 2025 with a chilling reprint of one of the most influential Batman tales of all time: Detective Comics #575, now rebranded as Batman Year Two #1, featuring a classic cover by Alan Davis and released at a special promotional price. Following the critically acclaimed Year One, this story launches Bruce Wayne into the next chapter of his early crime-fighting career—where the stakes are higher, the villains deadlier, and the moral lines blurrier than ever. Enter: The Reaper — a brutal vigilante who slaughters criminals without remorse and challenges Batman’s very code. As Gotham's underworld descends into chaos, the Caped Crusader must confront the deadly question: can justice exist without mercy? Written by Mike W. Barr with art by Alan Davis and Paul Neary, this landmark issue marks the beginning of the Year Two saga—introducing The Reaper, a dark mirror of Batman’s mission and one of the most pivotal influences on later stories, including Batman: Mask of the Phantasm and Batman: Zero Year.
