DC Comics just revealed that their ongoing Batman/Superman title will return post-Future State with a brand-new creative team. Writer Gene Luen Yang will be ed by superstar artist Ivan Reis when the title returns to regular publication in March 2021.
DC’s Mariko Tamaki, Ram V, Robbie Thompson and Stephanie Phillips. Many of these creative teams will carry over to the mainstream DC Universe when those titles resume (or in some cases start) publication in March, and Batman/Superman is part of this relaunch as Yang is writing the Future State version. The new creative team was announced at CCXP, a convention in Brazil.
DC has remained incredibly tight-lipped about story details following Future State; likewise, little has been revealed in the way of artwork as well, and Batman/Superman is no different.
While exact details will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead, there is some room for speculation. A solicitation for the second issue of Future State Batman/Superman reveals crime-fighting approaches during Future State—will he continue it here?
The DC Universe post-Future State is starting to come together. DC has assembled a grand collection of talent to launch their next great era. Yang is no stranger to Superman, having helmed the character’s regular title in 2015; he is currently writing Shang-Chi for Marvel. Ivan Reis has a long history at DC, having penciled many of their iconic characters; he also was the artist behind DC’s Blackest Night crossover. The duo have a firm grasp on what makes these characters tick, and that will be on full display in March when they take over Batman/Superman.
