James Tynion IV

Batman: Detective Comics: The New 52 Omnibus Vol. 1 starts the New 52 Detective Comics era with a sharper, more violent Gotham and a Batman pushed through crime, spectacle and body-horror shocks. Tony Daniel and James Tynion IV make the book feel immediate, glossy and aggressive in a way that matches the relaunch mood.

Batman and Robin Eternal Omnibus turns Batman's legacy into a mystery about training, memory and the damage adults pass down to their protégés. James Tynion IV, Scott Snyder, Paul Pelletier and Tony Daniel build a Bat-family thriller where Robin is not a side note but the emotional centre of the question.
