Batman may have a plan for just about everything, but he’s still just an ordinary human. But what happens when Batman is suddenly given control of some of the most powerful weapons in the DC Universe? That’s the premise behind an upcoming DC Comics series dubbed Batman: Fortress.
Written by Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’s Gary Whitta and drawn by Transmetropolitan and The Boys co-creator Darick Robertson, Fortress explores what happens when Batman is forced to respond to an alien invasion. With Superman MIA, Batman has no choice but to take command of the Fortress of Solitude and unleash every tool in its vast arsenal to combat the invaders.
Here’s DC’s official description for the eight-issue limited series:
When an unknown alien ship enters Earth’s atmosphere, disrupting global power and communications and plunging the planet into chaos, the world is left wondering…where is Superman when he is needed most? In the mysterious absence of the Last Son of Krypton, Batman must rally the rest of the Justice League to counter the alien threat…but first, he must quell a crime wave on the blacked-out streets of Gotham! Gary Whitta (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) and Darick Robertson (The Boys) join forces to turn everything you think you know about Superman upside down in DC’s new comic book mini-series Batman: Fortress launching this May!
“This has been my first opportunity to collaborate with my Oliver co-creator Gary Whitta for DC, on a character that is one of my all-time favorites to draw,” said Robertson in DC’s press release. “I’m having the best time creating the art for this series and with my pal and original The Boys editor, Ben Abernathy at the helm, it’s been a dream project, with a lot of fun twists and surprises ahead for the readers!”
“It’s always been my dream to write a truly epic Batman story, one that draws inspiration from some dark and unexpected corners of the DC universe,” said Whitta. “The opportunity to once again collaborate with my friend Darick Robertson makes this all the sweeter. I hope that together we’ve done justice to some of DC’s most iconic characters, while at the same time reinventing everything you thought you knew about them…”
Batman: Fortress #1 will be released on Tuesday, May 24.
Fortress may well be one of the few outlets for a traditional Justice League story in 2022. DC recently revealed that almost every member of the team will be killed off in April’s Justice League #75, a story echoing 1992’s infamous Death of Superman crossover. That tragedy paves the way for Dark Crisis, a new crossover that shows new Superman Jon Kent rallying Earth’s surviving heroes against an existential threat.
