DC Announces Immortal Batman, Teasing the Dark Knight's Glorious Tokusatsu Transformation -

DC Comics is re-imagining Batman in an amazing new miniseries that has to be seen to be believed. The publisher has revealed details about its upcoming miniseries Immortal Batman, a new title under the Elseworlds banner that reinvents the Caped Crusader and his allies as tokusatsu superheroes out to save the universe.

At this year’s C2E2 convention, the Massive-Verse’s Kyle Higgins made a surprising announcement at his spotlight panel. Higgins, along with writer Matt Groom and artists Dan Mora and Erica D’Urso, are creating Immortal Batman, a six-issue, non-canon re-imagining for DC Comics.

Immortal Batman combines elements from the tokusatsu superhero subgenre with the Dark Knight’s mythos. The series is set in a futuristic world where humanity has become part of a galactic civilization that has accidentally made contact with dark parts of the universe. Three heroes will rise and become immortal legends to free their universe from their world’s dark shadow.
