DC Comics Unveils Major 2025 Plans for Batman, Superman, and Krypto
2025 promises a significant year for DC's Batman franchise. Following Chip Zdarsky's conclusion on Batman #157, Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee's Hush 2 will launch in March. A complete relaunch will then follow, featuring a new #1 issue, writer, and costume.
As announced at ComicsPro, Matt Fraction (Uncanny X-Men, The Invincible Iron Man) will take the reins as writer, collaborating with returning artist Jorge Jimenez. This new era will introduce a redesigned Batsuit—a vintage-inspired blue and gray design—and a new Batmobile.
"I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Batman," Fraction stated. "Jorge and I have a very superhero-forward take. We’ve got new characters, and a lot of old ones—good and bad; everything that makes Batman iconic." Batman #1 is slated for a September 2025 release.
DC also highlighted future Superman projects. Supergirl is receiving a new series and costume (designed by Stanley "Artgerm" Lau), written and illustrated by Sophie Campbell (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). This series will return Kara to Midvale.
Campbell commented, "Doing the same with Supergirl feels like returning to my storytelling roots. I’ll be drawing on influences from the 70’s, the 1984 movie, and the CW show." Supergirl #1 debuts May 14.
Action Comics will feature a new creative team: Mark Waid (Justice League Unlimited) and Skylar Patridge. This run will focus on Clark Kent's teenage years in Smallville, exploring his early experiences with his powers. The series begins with Action Comics #1087 in June.
Finally, Krypto will star in a five-issue miniseries, Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton, written by Ryan North (Fantastic Four) and drawn by Mike Norton (Revival). This series will delve deeper into Krypto's origin story. The first issue launches June 18.
ComicsPro also revealed Marvel's summer relaunch of Captain America, written by Zdarsky and drawn by Valerio Schiti.
