New Batman Series Announced At Writer Spotlight Panel

C2E2 has been poppin' off this week at the McCormick Place in Chicago and one of the big highlights was the announcement of the new DC Elseworlds limited series Immortal Legend Batman; a six issue series co-written by Mat Groom of Radiant Black and art by Erica D’Urso of Captain Marvel. The series will be taking inspiration from Japanese tokusatsu superhero stories and classic westerns mixed with its own Batman spin.

With it being an Elseworld series, that means it’s a complete reimagining of that Batman mythos. 

“Batman is fiction’s greatest hero, and we wanted to find a way to take everything that’s so great about him—his immense determination, resilience and selflessness—and explore it in a totally new way,” said Groom. “So, we’re taking Batman to the stars, turning him into a wandering hero, exploring humanity’s final frontier… and searching out deadly threats he inadvertently released upon the galactic community.”

Preorders begin Friday May 23rd with its official release Wednesday August 27th. Follow the adventures of Immortal Legend Batman, Robin and Nightwing as they take on the Shadow creatures that threaten to destroy the universe.
