How many Legends of the Dark Knight books are there?

By Alex Wiggan

In 2011, DC Comics began publishing a series of trade paperbacks under the banner heading, ‘Legends of the Dark Knight’. The books were standalone titles which focused on stories from key creators.

Each volume of Legends of the Dark Knight contained a collection of stories from a different creator, including Norm Breyfogle, Jim Aparo, and Matt Wagner. The stories were taken from across the decades and showcase the different incarnations of the Batman over the years.

If you are collecting the Legends of the Dark Knight books, or you are considering collecting them, then you will need a list of all the titles that have been published to date – and that’s where this post can come in handy.
