DC Comics will unite two fan-favorite characters in a new Elseworlds series later this year. Batman/Static: Beyond launches November 12th from writer Evan Narcisse and artist Nikolas Draper-Ivey. The six-issue limited series sees the two heroes teaming up to protect Earth after a global blackout cripples interplanetary peace talks.
“This story is intended to be a commentary on our overreliance on technology and the imminent dangers becoming complacent and too comfortable using AI to substitute our own imagination and human ingenuity,” continued Nikolas Draper-Ivey. “We now use our watches to find our phones, we use our phones to connect to everything else. We don’t rely on our own memories. We rely on technology to remember for us. That deeply concerns me.”
Batman/Static: Beyond #1 features a main cover by Nikolas Draper-Ivey and variants by Dustin Nguyen, Rahzzah, Denys Cowan, and Ho Che Anderson. You can check out four of the cover below!
