DC Announces Batman Relaunch with New Creative Team and Classic Costume Update

The fourth-ever relaunch of the Batman comic series will debut in September 2025, featuring writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jiménez with a fresh aesthetic and storytelling approach.

The upcoming Batman #1 marks the fourth relaunch of the iconic comic in its 85-year history, following the New 52 in 2011 and DC Rebirth in 2016.
Matt Fraction will write the series, with Jorge Jiménez providing art, alongside Tomeu Morey as colorist and Clayton Cowles as letterer.
The new series will introduce a revamped blue and gray costume inspired by classic designs, alongside a redesigned Batmobile and a fresh visual style for Gotham City.
Stories in the series will be interconnected but self-contained, offering readers standalone adventures within a broader narrative framework.
DC teased the relaunch at the ComicsPRO conference, emphasizing a mix of new and returning characters, while keeping specific plot details under wraps.
