The mythology of Batman continues to expand
in this issue of Batman Black and White as we explore alternate takes and
possible futures for the Caped Crusader from the minds of comics’ most
innovative and creative thinkers!
• Academy Award-winning writer John Ridley
and iconic Thor and Avengers artist Olivier Coipel reteam to dip into the world
of Future State and expand the legend of the next Batman and introduce us to
his new—well, she’s not exactly Robin!
• Bilquis Evely, Eisner Award-nominated
artist of The Sandman Universe’s The Dreaming and Wonder Woman, writes and
draws a tale that takes the myth of Batman to a medieval realm of knights and
sorcery. In this vision of Batman, the Dark Knight is a real knight—and he must
save a community from a dryad known as Ivy!
• Nick Dragotta, co-creator of East of
West, makes his DC writing debut with a tale that looks at a post apocalyptic
future where a giant Batman-like robot rampages through what’s left of Gotham
City.
• Celebrated co-writer of Grayson and
writer of Nightwing Tim Seeley returns to his horror roots with one of comics’
most legendary Batman and horror artists, Kelley Jones, to show us a Gotham
cursed to be forever haunted by Batman!
• Bengal, international comics luminary and
co-creator of Death or Glory, returns to DC to tell a story expressing Batman’s
admiration for his father and how he once protected Gotham City.
