Immortal Legend Batman: Kyle Higgins, Mat Groom, Erica D’Urso, and Dan Mora Take Batman and the Batman Family on a Cosmic Adventure Centuries into the Future!

CHICAGO, IL and BURBANK, CA (April 12, 2025) – During his spotlight panel at C2E2, writer Kyle Higgins (Radiant Black, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) and fan-favorite artist Dan Mora (Superman, Justice League Unlimited, Batman/Superman: World’s Finest) announced and revealed covers and concept art for a new comic book series, Immortal Legend Batman. Higgins and Mora will also be joined by writer Mat Groom (Ultraman, Inferno Girl Red) artist Erica D’Urso (Captain, Marvel, Inferno Girl Red), colorist Igor Monti, and letterer Becca Carey for this six-issue limited comic book series launching under DC’s Elseworlds banner.

Available for preorder beginning Friday, May 23, Immortal Legend Batman arrives at participating comic book shops and digital retailers on Wednesday, August 27. Drawing inspiration from sprawling sci-fi epics, Japanese tokusatsu superhero stories, classic Westerns and of course Batman’s own rich history, this series continues the proud Elseworlds tradition of exploring the core essence of classic DC heroes in thrilling new contexts.

“Certain projects are the perfect storm of timing, idea and creative team,” said Higgins. “Immortal Legend Batman has been years in the making, dating back to stunning designs that Mat and I first saw from Dan Mora. Obviously, we have a love and appreciation for Tokusatsu, and it’s influence on our books like Radiant Black and Inferno Girl Red. The opportunity to bring that love to a very unique version of Gotham, with very unique versions of these characters, with Mat, Erica, Igor, and Becca, along with our editor Matt Levine, who we worked with on Power Rangers, makes this beyond a perfect storm.”

“Batman is fiction’s greatest hero, and we wanted to find a way to take everything that’s so great about him—his immense determination, resilience and selflessness—and explore it in a totally new way,” said Groom. “So, we’re taking Batman to the stars, turning him into a wandering hero, exploring humanity’s final frontier… and searching out deadly threats he inadvertently released upon the galactic community.”

Many centuries from now, humanity becomes a galactic civilization with capital megacities on multiple planets and smaller outposts on dozens more. To conquer the vast distances between solar systems, humanity tapped into dark matter to bend space-time around spacecraft, from hulking colony vessels to one-man mech suits. In accessing this dark power, humanity broke the barrier between their universe and their universe’s shadow. This resulted in the creation of “Shadows”: mindless, soulless apparitions craving nothing but violence and destruction. Due to the actions of these Shadow creatures, newly colonized worlds were brought to the brink of collapse. But three warriors found a way to access the energy that bound their universe to the shadow universe, becoming “immortal legends”: Immortal Legend Batman, Immortal Legend Robin and Immortal Legend Nightwing!
