Comic Book Resources published “10 Best Batman Storylines of the 2020s, Ranked” on September 11, 2026, compiling a decade-spanning list of standout Batman arcs and naming titles such as “Batman: Failsafe” among its top picks — the piece appears on CBR’s comics section.
The CBR roundup (10 Best Batman Storylines of the 2020s, Ranked – Comic Book Resources) highlights modern runs across Batman-family titles and standalone graphic novels, arguing these ten stories best define the character in the 2020s.
One entry CBR cites is “Batman: Failsafe,” a Chip Zdarsky arc that set up a citywide threat; DC’s official page lists Batman Vol. 1: Failsafe with an April 4, 2023 release and describes the story as Bruce Wayne facing a new, unstoppable adversary while Gotham crumbles.
Contemporary reviews noted how Failsafe framed Batman’s limits and anticipated later plotlines; advance reviews and roundups from independent sites treated Failsafe as a defining early-2020s arc for the character.
The CBR list collects entries across publishers’ main Batman titles and anthology issues, reflecting comics critics’ growing focus on serialized arcs and event-driven storytelling in the 2020s. The article names works that range from prestige limited series to rotating anthologies.
