Batman Giant is an anthology series exclusive to Walmart stores. This 100-page comic features a new multi-part continuing story and reprinted stories featuring the Batman family and villains.

Despite initial strong sales, the comic failed to run strips consistently and creators were not paid on time leading to its cancellation and publisher Apocalypse being declared Bankrupt. Some of the characters found life at new publishers, such as Dark Horse and Atomeka and some even in 2000AD itself. Apocalypse did reprint most stories in the Apocalypse (1991) series.

It focused on six different Mutants, and each story was essentially self contained. The miniseries was supposed to show the day-to-day sufferings of mutants, not just those that managed to find their way to the X-men and Charles Xavier. It was written chiefly by Karl Bollers, with different artists doing different issues.
