Article Summary
AfterJim LeeandJeph Loebconclude their first half ofBatman Hush 2later this year ( withBatman Hush 2.5coming sometime in 2026)Matt FractionandJorge Jimenezwill relaunch the title for DC Comics with a newBatman # 1 in September 2025 . Or rather , Batman Vol 4 # 1for those still counting .
late , Fraction appeared onOff control board : A Comics Interview Podcast , where he briefly talk about the new serial and what he hop to achieve with it . We pick up that his first comic strip wereBatman , specificallyBatman # 316fromLen Wein ’s 1989 run , which was where he started reading comic . We get a line that at one point , he was meant to take overDetective cartoon strip , but that it did n’t play out . And even though the relaunch only come out in September , he has already written eight or nine issues and is right smart ahead of agenda . ( Even more thanRyan NorthonFantastic Four , who is nine calendar month ahead , but that ’s on the consequence put out this calendar month ! )
He say that the first issue out in September is entirely done , that Jorge Jimenez is currently working on the 2d offspring out in October . And that he had already written the fourth payoff by the sentence that Jorge had finished his last issue write by Chip Zdarsky , before theBatman Hush 2interlude . He remember that at a DC Comics editorial hideaway to begin with in the twelvemonth , he had to stop talking because when everyone was talking about their architectural plan for May , as he had been blab about the next May .
One matter he says you might notice is that he wo n’t be having it rain in Gotham City . " No rain . As far as I ’m have-to doe with , it does n’t rain in Gotham any longer " . The story are still mostly at night , but it does n’t want to be rain all the time , and he ’s not really interested in sad superheroes standing in the drear rain . So no , no Riddler weather auto here either . He wants to drop a line Batman strip that makes people fall in making love with funnies the way that Batman made him return in erotic love with comics … Fraction say he has observe the lack of playfulness in a lot of superhero comedian these day but that ’s not something he need to tack towards , quite the antonym .
He talk about coming back to risible books after working for telly so much recently , and how he " think about BrianK Vaughana slight minute when he had gone aside to do Lost and Under The Dome , that made me feel like there ’s at least case in point for something like this . That you may go home again . Brian is proof of that and I was lade the deck by making it Batman . "
Just a small splinter of all he talked about …
