What Else is Coming Along with These Exciting Changes?
For the past three years, fans have been on a wild ride in Batman under Chip Zdarsky and Jiménez's direction. The Caped Crusader traveled all over the world and even into the multiverse. And the action never stopped, whether he was fighting an evil Joker variant or Batman's hyper-prepared alter ego, the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh. But Zdarsky's time on Batman finally came to an end with the most recent arc "The Dying City". But the adventures are continuing as the current Batman volume approaches its final arc, “Hush 2”, the long-awaited sequel to the iconic and gripping Batman story.
This is just scratching the surface of what's on the horizon for Batman as Fraction and Jiménez have both discussed new things to come for the World's Greatest Detective later this year. Fraction revealed that in addition to new characters and gadgets, Bruce is going to be getting a new Batmobile. Jiménez, on the other hand, discussed giving Gotham a fresh approach that gives the city a new feel while remaining true to the spirit of Batman. Though it’s too early to tell what’s to come, DC Comics is getting ready to give Batman fans something bold and exciting.
