DC Announces ‘Batman: Reign Of Assassins’ — Batman Meets Batman For The Very First Time

Remember Jace Fox, the New York-based Batman? Well, this February, acclaimed writer John Ridley and superstar artist Olivier Coipel — who both previously worked together on the I Am Batman short-lived series — reunite for the new five-issue Batman: Reign of Assassins, in which Jace Fox and Bruce Wayne team up, in their capes and cowls, for the first time.

Here’s the set-up:

“When mysterious forces from Jace’s past converge on his present, Jace turns to Katana and Gotham City’s Caped Crusader for help. The mission sends two very different Batmen on a globe-spanning adventure that will require them to find common ground against a dangerous new threat.”

Batman: Reign of Assassins is written by Ridley, with art by Coipel, colours by Mat Lopes, and letters by AndWorld Design and is out on Wednesday 17th February from DC Comics.

The debut issue will feature a main cover by Coipel with variant covers by Dan Mora, Kyuyong Eom, and Travis Charest, along with a foil variant cover by Coipel and Lopes.
