DC’s Biggest Batman Comic Is Getting a Very Exciting New Creative Team

Detective Comics ’ novel originative team is a major first for the serial , for press down reasons , but it ’s still an important first stone’s throw . Starting next year , for the first metre in theiconic series ’ account , a distaff writer will lead the burster telling narrative in the Word of God that kickstartedBatman ’s crimefighting careeracross decade of comics .

First let out by the publisher over the weekend at the online - only CCXP Worlds in Brazil , DC has announced that Mariko Tamaki ( known for herJen Walters - led runon Hulk recently , as well as series like Supergirl : Being Super and her putsch of Wonder Woman this year ) and Dan Mora ( Go Go Power Rangers , Buffy the Vampire Slayer ) will headline Detective Comics , beginning their stewardship of the title in 2021 . Although distaff creatives have long been involved in the world around Gotham and the Batfamily , Tamaki is only the 2d char to be the lead author on one of the publisher ’s core Batman series sinceDevin Grayson ’s run on Gotham Knights in 2000 .

Gotham is n’t an unfamiliar playground to Tamaki , either , having teamed up with artist Steve Pugh on the YAHarley Quinn graphic novel , Breaking Glass , last year . Tamaki also antecedently collaborated with Mora on “ A Gift ” , a story for the day of remembrance issue Detective Comics # 1027 , lionize a thousand issues since Batman ’s very first appearance in the serial , and is set to work with him again as part of the upcomingDC Future State event . Suffice to say , it ’s a team that knows their way around a Batcave or two , and should lead to some very exciting times for the Dark Knight to come .
