BATMAN And THE SHADOW

Batman. The Shadow.

Two of literature’s greatest detectives are on the case together in a new series.

DC Entertainment, Condé Nast and Dynamite Entertainment will unite Batman and The Shadow for an epic crossover. This team-up of history’s famous vigilantes sends Batman on a quest to unlock the enigma surrounding the obscure Shadow. Writers Scott Snyder (All-Star Batman) and Steve Orlando (Midnighter, Justice League of America ) with artist Riley Rossmo will introduce a new miniseries.

Here’s more on the story and how this epic team-up evolved:

“Batman is a myth that transcends the comic book page and inspires us to achieve, while The Shadow is the cornerstone of so much of the pop culture and comics we see today,” explains Orlando. “To bring together the World’s Greatest Detective and the World’s Greatest Mystery is an honor. BATMAN/THE SHADOW will pay tribute to legacies in comics and pulp fiction, as the two characters meet in a generations-deep conflict unlike any they’ve seen before, with a case that stretches back to the origins of time, and will redefine murder.” Continue reading BATMAN And THE SHADOW
