Batman: Shadow of the Bat was a comic book series featuring Batman, published by DC Comics. The series ran for 96 issues, from 1992 to 2000. The stories took place in Batman's then-current continuity along with Detective Comics and Batman, in contrast to Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, which focused on Batman's early years. Shadow of the Bat looked into the psyche of the various cast members of the Batman comics.

Shadow of the Bat was started with the four-part storyline, "Batman: The Last Arkham," which also saw the introduction of several new characters, such as Jeremiah Arkham and Zsasz. Issues #73 and #74 were a part of the "Batman: Cataclysm" storyline, which was a top vote-getter for the Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Award for Favorite Story for 1999. Issues #83 through #94 were parts of the "No Man's Land" storyline that won the Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Award for Favorite Story of 2000. Issue #80 was part of a special "flip-book" along with Azrael #47, where both issues were part of the same book. This two-issue special was the first of its kind. The #1000000 issue was a part of the "DC One Million" storyline, which was a top vote-getter for the Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Award for Favorite Story for 1999. Fifty of the series' 96 monthly issues were part of various crossovers with other titles. The majority of the issues were written by writer Alan Grant, notable for his work on Batman in the 1990s. Shadow of the Bat was canceled at the end of the "No Man's Land" storyline, and was immediately replaced with Batman: Gotham Knights.
