In more DC news, the DC comic book lineup will be intertwined with a larger Batman narrative, with Batman/Catwoman being shipped out alongside the Batman series, beginning January of 2020.
The City of Bane will conclude in Batman #85.
DC editor in chief Bob Harras commented:
“We’re making changes to our comic book publishing line to set DC up for continued success. We’re starting with the bestselling BATMAN comic after ‘City of Bane’ wraps up in December. ‘City of Bane’ is an incredible story and an integral part of our overall ‘Year of the Villain’ campaign, and a new Tom King and Clay Mann Bat/Cat series in 2020 fills the gap once BATMAN begins to ship monthly.”
Batman #75 releases on July 17th of this years, which features three years after Bruce Wayne has been broken down by Bane. Bane’s minions have taken full control of Gotham city; in this extra-sized issue, issue #75 will tie in all the threads of the previous issues of this Batman series. The City of Bane will have 11 issues and conclude in December of this year with Batman #85.
Tom King, the man behind Batman’s epic run, states:
“Batman and Catwoman is a chance to do what Morrison and Quietly did in Batman and Robin: launch an ambitious, accessible, beautiful, thrilling new series that concludes years of stories and defines what Batman is, can, and will be. This will be a comic about what the best Batman comics are always been about, how our greatest hero turns fear into bravery, pain into hope, trauma into love. It’s the story I always wanted to tell, and I’m telling it with the man I consider to be the greatest artist in comics, my brother Clay Mann.”
He added:
“It’s tough to leave Batman. It’s a gift and a joy to be on that book. But I’m leaving it to work on the biggest, most ambitious projects of my career, comics I get to make with the best collaborators in comics. And that’s a gift and a joy too.”
Harras then added:
“We’re excited for fans to get more of what they love from DC. With Joëlle Jones continuing on CATWOMAN, a new creative team on BATMAN, plus titles like DETECTIVE COMICS, BATGIRL, NIGHTWING, RED HOOD: OUTLAW and BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS, our Gotham City protectors and the talent behind them will continue to offer great stories that cater to the tastes of as many Bat-fans as possible in 2020 and beyond.”
