A lot of rumors are becoming reality during DC FanDome today. It was just revealed that Academy Award winning screenwriter John Ridley will pen a four issue Batman miniseries. He will be joined by artist Nick Derington.
The first look that you see above is from artist LADRÖNN. This story promises to be a different versions of Batman than you see in current continuity. One thing we know for sure is, it will not be Bruce Wayne under the cowl.
“I think it’s a pretty safe bet that if I’m writing Batman, it’s probably a little better than a 47% chance he’s going to be a person of color,” said Ridley.
The series will focus on the Lucius Fox family. Is that a hint that Luke Fox will be Batman? Maybe, maybe not, but that is an interesting bit of information. Who knows, it could end up being Lucius himself.
Getting a fresh take on The Dark Knight with so many Bat books will be a nice change of pace. More information will likely be revealed during the next DC FanDome on September 12th. The first issue of this miniseries drops some time in January of 2021. More on this as it develops.
