Immortal Legend Batman: A Sci-Fi Tokusatsu Adventure Awaits
Batman continuously evolves, embodying various incarnations—from a mech warrior to a ninja, and now, a tokusatsu hero in an exciting sci-fi epic.
Unveiling Immortal Legend Batman
During a recent C2E2 panel, Radiant Black co-creator Kyle Higgins shared thrilling news about a new series titled Immortal Legend Batman. This six-issue storyline reunites him with the talented artist Dan Mora, alongside notable collaborators such as Mat Groom and Erica D’Urso, the writer/artist duo known for Inferno Girl Red, as well as colorist Igor Monti and letterer Becca Carey. Together, they are crafting a brand new Elseworlds saga.
Setting the Scene: A Dark Matter Empire
Set centuries in the future, humanity has harnessed dark matter, enabling interstellar travel and the establishment of a galactic empire. However, this manipulation has led to the emergence of soulless creatures known as “Shadows,” posing a threat to newly colonized worlds. Enter the Immortal Legends—a superhero team consisting of Batman, Robin, and Nightwing—who have discovered how to wield dark matter against these malevolent forces.
A Journey Years in the Making
According to Higgins, Immortal Legend Batman has been “years in the making.” The creative spark ignited in 2020 when he and Groom first encountered Mora’s stunning tokusatsu redesigns of the characters. As fans of the toku genre, prevalent in their previous works like Radiant and Inferno, they seized the opportunity to create a unique version of Gotham, showcasing innovative iterations of beloved characters.
Exploring Batman’s Core Values in a New Light
“We aimed to highlight everything that makes Batman exceptional—his determination, resilience, and selflessness—by presenting him in an entirely fresh narrative,” Groom explained. “We’ll take him to the stars as a wandering hero, confronting dangerous threats he inadvertently released upon the galactic community.”
