Batman: Shadow of the Bat, was first published in June of 1992, running 94 issues plus a #0 issue and #1000000 issue until it was cancelled in February of 2000. It was quickly replaced by Gotham Knights.

Started as a showcase for Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle, (and after a short time just Grant). Once Grant was no longer on the title, the creative teams changed for just about every story arc.

For the most part, each arc was intended to be self- contained within the Shadow of the Bat series, though much of the book was eventually just used as part of Bat-Family crossovers such as Knightfall and No Man's Land.

Brian Stelfreeze provided covers for much of the run.
