Did you the internet breaking Batman Day video with Sonic the Hedgehog’s Shadow cosplaying at the Dark Knight? Well it seems that video was heralding a much bigger announcement. Tonight Team Sonic has announced an ongoing partnership with DC which will include comics and merchandise launching in 2025.
The partnership was formally announced in tonight’s episode of Sonic Central, with host Tiffany Smith interviewing Sega SVP Ivo Gerscovich to get the hot gossip on the upcoming mash-up. The interview starts around the 16:15 mark in the video below:
Publishing in Spring 2025, the Justice League will meet Sonic and friends in an all-new, five-issue comic book series published by DC Comics and written by Ian Flynn (writer of “Sonic the Hedgehog” comic book series). The new series features an unprecedented crossover event where the Justice League and Team Sonic must unite to save their worlds from a major threat. The first issue debuts March 2025, publishing monthly through July.
During Sonic Central, Gerscovich provided a live global audience with the first look at Shadow the Hedgehog as Batman, Knuckles as Superman, Amy Rose as Wonder Woman, Silver the Hedgehog as Green Lantern, Tails as Cyborg, and Sonic as…of course, The Flash!
Stay tuned for more news on the new partnership as it is announced…
