Today, DC has revealed their full solicitations for June 2024 and it includes a surprise bonus issue for Chip Zdarky’s Batman. The series will debut its 148th issue on June 4 before releasing issue #149 on June 18. The issues will wrap up the current “Dark Prisons” arc.
With Failsafe running the streets of Gotham and Bruce struggling to keep control over Zur-En-Arrh, June will see the culmination of Zdarsky’s entire run on Batman to-date. Will the rest of the Bat-Family be able to save Bruce (and Gotham) before it’s too late?
Batman #148 ships with a main cover from series artist Jorge Jimenez and will feature variants from Woo-Chul, Yasmine Putri, Homare, Gabriel Dell’Otto and a DC Pride variant from Skylar Patridge. Here’s your first look at each of the covers:
