Matt Fraction and Jorge Jimenez Relaunch Gotham City in ‘Batman’ #1

DC Comics revealed the highly anticipated new creative team for Bruce Wayne’s titular ongoing series — writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jimenez. Joining the duo will be colorist Tomeu Morey and letterer Clayton Cowles. Batman #1 will hit shelves this September and bring back the Dark Knight’s iconic grey and blue suit. Readers will also see Batman with a new Batmobile and living in a new-look Gotham City. Check out a first look at Jimenez’s cover and interior art for the debut issue, as well as a design sheet for Batman’s new look, below!

“I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Batman. It was the first comic I ever read,” said Fraction at ComicsPro. “Jorge and I have a very superhero-forward kind of take on Batman. We’ve got a new Batmobile, we’ve got a new costume, we’ve got new characters, and we’ve got a lot of old ones too—good and bad; all the stuff that makes Batman the coolest character in comics.”
