Batman’s gone by loads of tone and vibes shifts since his inception, and moreso during the last a number of years. From detective noir to dinosaur romps and mecha fights, that he’s in a position to swap between completely different tones is what’s made him such a enjoyable character. For the summer season, the Caped Crusader is turning into somewhat theatrical—effectively, extra theatrical—courtesy of a brand new storyline headlined by a new artistic staff.

Taking over Detective Comics with the four-part “Gotham Nocturne” arc is the artistic staff of author Ram V (Swamp Thing, Venom), artist Rafael Albuquerque (American Vampire, Superman/Batman), and colorist Dave Stewart (Hellboy). Starting with problem #1062, Batman will probably be struck with a relentless feeling of creeping dread, and that dread is spreading all through the individuals of Gotham. The metropolis’s hit with a musical melody that’s turning residents into one thing fairly monstrous, and it’s naturally on him to kind issues out. “The curtains are rising on a new, terrifying mystery,” teases the abstract, “as Batman tries to figure out what’s happening to both the city he protects and his own mind in this lush, operatic mystery.”

For V, the attraction of getting to put in writing Batman was “this blanket of tragedy” that hovered over him and all of Gotham. “When the opportunity first came across my desk, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it,” he stated in a statement to DC. While praising his collaborators, he teased “Gotham Nocturne” can be a “quintessentially Batman story, told with the aesthetics of a gothic opera. It’s a thrill to be writing a title with the kind of history and pedigree that Detective Comics has.”

After “Nocture” ends, artist Ivan Reis (Aquaman, Superman) will pop in for a quartet of points starting in #1066, for a narrative that can “wind through the back alleys of Gotham City.” Albuquerque will return once more for problem #1070. DC additionally revealed {that a} backup story will probably be included in every problem, written by Si Spurrier (Suicide Squad: Blaze, Legion of X) and drawn by Dani (Arkham City: Order of the World), targeted on Jim Gordon’s strive at being a non-public investigator.

Detective Comics #1062 will start V and Albuquerque’s run on July 26.
