''Batman Incorporated'' is a comic-book series written by Creator/EdBrisson and published by Creator/DCComics. While named after a similar series from ''ComicBook/GrantMorrisonsBatman'', it is actually a spin-off of [[ComicBook/BatmanJamesTynionIV James Tynion IV's run on the main Batman series]].
In a bid to prove that he's not just an unhinged psychopath with delusions of one-upping Batman, Ghost-Maker has taken over Batman, Inc., expanding its ranks and its reach. However, someone is targeting all of his mentors, and in the ensuing search, his new partners are being exposed to his old secrets.

!!This series contains examples of:
* AffirmativeActionLegacyGirl: Beryl Hutchinson serves as the modern Knight, continuing the tradition of her late friend Cyril Sheldrake.
* BadBoss: Among the conspirators against Ghost-Maker is Phantom-One, his former sidekick, who tells Clownhunter about how Ghost-Maker killed his parents, adopted him under a false name, and forced him into two years of training in isolation, intending to turn him into the "Better-Robin".
* TheBigGuy: New recruit Grey Wolf is a Chechen man who was transformed by ComicBook/LexLuthor's experiments into a hulking wolf-man.
* KnifeNut: Among the victims is Tommy Tivane, an Irishman who trained both Batman and Ghost-Maker in the use of knives.
* NotMeThisTime: Ghost-Maker's attempts to save his mentors are hampered by the fact that he has a history of killing some of them.
* SmurfettePrinciple: At the start of the series, Beryl Hutchinson, the modern Knight, is the sole remaining woman at Batman, Inc. In the first issue, she practically begs female Irish vigilante Black Mist to join, just so that she won't be the only woman.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Most of the veteran members of Batman, Inc. are less than thrilled about having to work with Ghost-Maker, particularly when they find out what kind of people he trained under.
* TrainingFromHell: Many of Ghost-Maker's tutors offered this as their method of instruction. One of them, the trap expert, openly boasts about his proficiency with creating traps and inflicting torture.
