With Superman missing Batman fights an alien invasion in DC Comics’ latest

An alien ship in Earth’s environment is inflicting international blackouts, and wouldn’t you understand it? Superman is nowhere to be discovered. Seems like a job for Inexperienced Lantern. Or possibly the Martian Manhunter. Or Orion? Is he out there?

Batman is the one hero out there? Effectively, that’s going to be attention-grabbing. And it’s apparently the plot of DC Comics’ upcoming miniseries, Batman: Fortress from Rogue One scribe Gary Whitta and The Boys artist Darick Robertson.

In accordance with a information launch from DC, the eight-issue comedian is a “brutal and surprising” story that can “problem the whole lot you suppose you understand about Superman.”

“When an unknown alien ship enters Earth’s environment, disrupting international energy and communications and plunging the planet into chaos,” says DC’s information launch, “the world is left questioning … the place is Superman when he’s wanted most? Within the mysterious absence of the Final Son of Krypton, Batman should rally the remainder of the Justice League to counter the alien risk … however first, he should quell a criminal offense wave on the blacked-out streets of Gotham!”

In the identical launch, Whitta stated that Batman: Fortress “attracts inspiration from some darkish and surprising corners of the DC universe.” And with a reputation like that, you may guess the Man of Metal’s Fortress of Solitude is concerned not directly.

Batman: Fortress #1 will hit cabinets on Might 24.
