[edit] Reprint collections

Numerous mini-series have also been reprinted under the same title as the mini-series. This section lists only reprints from ongoing series. All were issues in trade paperback format unless noted.

[edit] Modern Batman

The following trade paperbacks are stories that run through the 'contemporary' books of the Batman family. The earliest trade paperback is Frank Miller's Batman: Year One storyline, which rebirthed the character in the Modern Age, re-telling the first year of his existence and how he came to be. These stories are from comic books still being published and are, in a sense, ongoing. They are printed here in the chronology of the storylines, rather than the publication dates of either the original comics or collections.
