Back in 2021 DC Comics found huge success with the release of two miniseries which return to the worlds from two of histories best comic book movies. The Batman ’89 and Superman ’78 miniseries both ran for six-issues and told new stories which picked up the continuity from the Michael Keaton and Christopher Reeve led films.
