Superheroes Batman Beyond and Static are reuniting for a fresh comic book series.
In a thrilling new adventure, DC Comics is set to release Batman/Static Beyond, a six-issue limited run series set to launch on November 12, 2025. This exciting new comic book series brings together two iconic characters - Terry McGinnis, the current Batman, and Virgil Hawkins, the adult Static - in a futuristic tale that combines elements of cyberpunk, superhero action, and social commentary.
The plot revolves around a nefarious villain causing a global blackout, threatening the fragile peace Earth has achieved as it prepares to join the powerful interstellar alliance, the Cooperative. Batman and Static must join forces to save the world, despite their very different backgrounds and approaches to heroism.
Terry McGinnis, still grappling with his responsibilities as the Dark Knight, faces a more grounded challenge in this new era. On the other hand, Virgil Hawkins, a veteran Justice League member, has been shaped by his experiences growing up amid systemic injustice in Dakota City. Their collaboration highlights the tension and potential in their differing methods of creating a safer and more just world.
Evan Narcisse, known for his work as a comics journalist at Kotaku and io9, is the writer for Batman/Static Beyond. Nikolas Draper-Ivey, the artist, brings the story to life with vivid and dynamic illustrations.
The series is part of DC's Elseworlds imprint, a collection of stories that explore alternate versions of DC characters and their worlds. This new series blends the legacy of both the Batman Beyond and Static Shock animated series, offering fans a fresh take on these beloved characters.
Virgil Hawkins' invention, the Q-Wave Energy Grid, is instrumental in this new era of peace and prosperity. However, it also raises questions about the dangers of overreliance on technology and artificial intelligence. The story serves as a commentary on the need for a balance between innovation and human ingenuity.
Terry McGinnis and Virgil Hawkins have a history together, dating back to the Batman Beyond/Static Shock crossover episode "Future Shock." In Batman/Static Beyond, readers will get to explore how these two characters see each other, with Terry being a high school student still figuring out his role, and Virgil an adult member of the Justice League.
The series promises to be a gripping exploration of responsibility, cooperation, and differing worldviews between two heroes from different stages of life and experience. It raises thought-provoking questions about trust, leadership, and the future of society amid technological and social upheaval. Don't miss the first issue of Batman/Static Beyond on November 12, 2025.
