Had things originally gone as planned with DC’s canceled 5G reboot, Lucius Fox’s son Jace would have officially taken the mantle of Batman in the DC Universe. Instead, Bruce and Jace currently share that mantle, with Bruce remaining in his traditional stomping grounds of Gotham City and Jace finally giving New York City the costumed hero it had been lacking.
Reign of Assassins will pair Bruce and Jace with Katana as the three heroes embark on a globetrotting adventure against a mysterious new enemy. The series is who previously cemented Jace’s new status quo as Batman in 2021’s I Am Batman. The creative team also includes colorist Mat Lopes and letterer AndWorld Design
Batman: Reign of Assassins is a five-issue series, with issue #1 due in stores on February 17, 2027. You can preorder a copy at your local comic shop.
In other Batman news, the animated movie Batman: Knightfall Part 2 – Knightquest is releasing on December 15.
