https://www.comicsbeat.com/batman-th...-dc-anthology/In “The Order of the Black Lamp—Part I,” from writer Christopher Cantwell (Co-creator, Halt and Catch Fire, Briar, Marvel’s Iron Man) and artist Javier Rodríguez (Marvel’s Daredevil, The Defenders), Superman finds a decoder ring with a secret message—“Save Me”—which sends him on a quest to solve a mystery with ties to the Man of Steel’s past.
Doesn’t even look like he’s teaming up with Batman, it’s just a solo story? I’m interested! Rodriguez’s art is of course amazing and worth checking out for that alone, but I’ve heard good things about Cantwell’s writing. People seem to love his Gold Goblin series.
Edit: They got Frank Cho to draw a Superman variant? How much did they have to fork over for that? He’s a well known Superman hater.

It's weird to see Clark getting a story in a an anthology book with Batman's name on it, but the art will look phenomenal.

Intriguing I admit, but probably a gross exaggeration, particularly if it's 3-parts. But we'll see I suppose, maybe I will be wrong. Originally Posted by Vordan

Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

Hey there though and I’m also surprised about Frank Cho. Originally Posted by Vordan

Even if the story isn’t up to snuff the art will be. Javier Rodriguez is a master: Originally Posted by JBatmanFan05

Might be the filter but looks like they're going for a cartoony style here. Originally Posted by Vordan

I don’t think it looks any different from the Hulk pic posted above imo. I’d be surprised if Rodriguez changed up his style too much. Originally Posted by Frontier

Why? They'll probably get like 8 pages for each part so it will be practically same as one and done if it was published in regular series. Originally Posted by JBatmanFan05
