DC Comics Relaunches Batman Series in September

DC Comics is set to relaunch the Batman series with a new #1 issue in September, introducing a fresh creative team comprised of writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jiménez. This relaunch follows the anticipated 'Hush 2' arc and will feature a revamped aesthetic for Batman, including a switch to a blue and gray costume and a new Batmobile. Fraction, in his first ongoing series for DC, aims to celebrate Batman's enduring legacy by introducing new characters and gadgets while retaining familiar elements. Jiménez, continuing as the series artist, has redesigned Gotham City, incorporating a slightly pop-influenced style. This marks only the fourth time in Batman's 84-year history that the series has been renumbered. The upcoming stories will be interconnected yet self-contained, promising new adventures and challenges for the Dark Knight.
