Batman Gets Tokusatsu Inspired Elseworlds Comic Book Series, Immortal Legend Batman

It was announced during "Kyle Higgins Presents: Radiant Black, The Massive-Verse and More!" panel at this year's C2E2 a new DC Elseworlds limited series, Immortal Legend Batman. 

This six-issue limited series will be written by Kyle Higgins (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) and Mat Groom (Radiant Black) and will feature art by Dan Mora (Batman/Superman: World's Finest) and Erica D'Urso (Inferno Girl Red). The series promises to combine the best elements of superhero storytelling with elements of the tokusatsu genre.

Taking place many centuries from now, humanity has become a galactic civilization with capital megacities on multiple planets and smaller outposts on dozens more. To conquer the vast distances between solar systems, humanity tapped into dark matter to bend space-time around spacecraft, from hulking colony vessels to one-man mech suits. In accessing this dark power, humanity broke the barrier between their universe and their universe's shadow. 

This resulted in the creation of "Shadows": mindless, soulless apparitions craving nothing but violence and destruction. Due to the actions of these Shadow creatures, newly colonized worlds were brought to the brink of collapse. But three warriors found a way to access the energy that bound their universe to the shadow universe, becoming "immortal legends": Immortal Legend Batman, Immortal Legend Robin and Immortal Legend Nightwing.

Immortal Legend Batman #1 will be available on comic book stores and digital this August 27th.
