Tom Taylor is on a roll at DC Comics, and aside from handling the Injustice and DCeased books - he's set to take on Dick Grayson and his world this March with Nightwing #78. But apparently that's not the only project he's working on during the "Infinite Frontier" era of DC - as DC Comics has revealed through their April 2021 solicitations (via Newsarama) that Taylor is teaming up with artist Andy Kubert for a new Batman miniseries entitled "Batman: The Dark Knight"!

Here's the description of the book: 

An epic tale begins that will take Batman on a harrowing, action-packed European adventure in a new miniseries by superstar creators Tom Taylor and Andy Kubert! A horrific tragedy in the United Kingdom sends a very personal and deadly message to the Dark Knight—one that will draw Batman out of Gotham City to investigate! From the moment he lands in Europe, Batman will face a difficult investigation and unheard-of adversaries and find the assistance of a partner once more—all in the hunt for the villain known as Equilibrium! New villains! New allies! A thrilling overseas adventure begins for the Dark Knight, starting with an extra-sized 26-page debut story!

Batman: The Dark Knight will be a six issue miniseries and will begin this April!

DC Comics prepares to unlease a Zombie Apocalype in DCeased #1 this May


Following the footsteps of Robert Kirkman's zombie apocalypse treatment of the Marvel Universe in "Marvel Zombies" and even his critically acclaimed title "The Walking Dead", the DC Universe is about to be infested by hordes of the undead and even the superheroes are unable to deal with it effectively. That's where Tom Taylor and Trevor Hairsine come in for "DCeased" - a six issue miniseries that begins in May.

As detailed in IGN, DCeased will see a zombie plague that was originally developed by Darkseid go out of control - spreading to the DC Universe as we know it and catching a lot of the heroes, including Batman, off guard. What follows will be anyone's guess... But even The Dark Knight himself may be infected by this virus. Will his mind be able to battle this? We'll find out on May 1st.

DC Comics: Earth 2 #17 starts a new tale... And previews some major *SPOILER* changes


When the DC Universe rebooted and changed things with "The New 52" era in 2011, so did the multiverse and the adventures of the alternate reality versions of the characters we've come to know and love in DC Comics. "Earth-2" was one of the second wave of titles to usher in the following year, with writer James Robinson steering the ship and exploring new origin stories and tales of the parallel world. The first arc saw the trinity, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, give up their lives to fight the invading forces of Apokolips, while dealing with other heroes who have more or less emerged in the wake of the crisis.

Now, writer Tom Taylor steps in on issue #17 following the departure of Robinson the previous issue, and this time the stakes get even higher with the introduction of new twists, turns, and darker times for Earth 2. Via USA Today, a preview was released showing just how serious things have gotten, with the emergence of a new Batman, the return of Superman - thought dead and now on the side of evil, and the new identity taken by a certain female reporter which will certainly shock all.
