"Future State" - DC Comics interim two month event which will see ongoing DC titles take a break and a storyline that goes into a possible future with new heroes introduced, hasn't even begun yet and now the identity of the titular "Next Batman" has been revealed by the publisher thanks to a variant cover for the second issue of the miniseries... And it's a person of color and someone who is related to a family that has ties to Bruce Wayne and his legacy in a manner of speaking.
Hit the jump to find out who it is... And naturally it's a SPOILER.
The new Batman is Lucius Fox's long lost son - Tim "Jace" Fox. Brother to Luke "Batwing" Fox and a character that hasn't been seen in comics for years, the returning character takes up the mantle of the Bat in a future where Bruce is presumed dead (he's not) and vigilantes are all outlawed... However Tim decides to strike out and become the new Caped Crusader of Gotham - as shown in this variant cover by Doug Braithwaite and Diego Rodriguez. You can read up more details via DC Nation here.
Future State: The Next Batman will be handled by the creative team of John Ridley, Nick Derington, and Laura Braga.
