Batman: The Adventures Continue is a limited-run comic series released in 2020. Following the DC Animated Universe Batman, the project was headed by Paul Dini, Alan Burnett and Ty Templeton (all of whom worked on DCAU properties) with them joining forces with more recent DC creators like Joe Quinones. The series is set between The New Batman Adventures and Batman Beyond. It largely advertised tie-in characters and costumes, some of whom were never directly featured in the DCAU before. This allowed DC Direct to expand their line of animated Batman toys with the rationality that there was now new material to represent as a figurine. Three "seasons" of the comic have been produced between April 2020 and October 2023.

Notes[]
- Season One of the series was released digitally under the chapters. However, physical released combined two chapters at a time into issues. Season Two was initially announced to have similar releases, though this was abandoned at some point before its publication.
- Various super-villains not yet introduced in the DCAU could be seen attending Harley and Ivy's Christmas party. This includes: Ratcatcher, Magpie, Kite-Man, King Shark and the Wonderland Gang (March Harriet, the Carpenter, the Walrus, Tweedledee and Tweedledum), the latter of whom appeared earlier in the comic run.
