All the excitement and celebration surrounding Saturday’s Batman Day and the Dark Knight’s 80th anniversary received an added boost of adrenaline as a new creative team was announced for DC’s bestselling Batman comic book.

During a book signing and panel discussion at New York’s Barnes & Noble Union Square, DC Publisher Dan DiDio revealed to fans in attendance that in January 2020 the new ongoing team for Batman will feature New York Times bestselling writer James Tynion IV, penciler and main cover artist Tony S. Daniel, inker Danny Miki, and colorist Tomeu Morey.

Tynion is no stranger to the world of the Dark Knight, having thrilled fans with his work on series such as Detective Comics, Batman Eternal, in addition to Batman and Robin Eternal, and is eager to continue in the tradition of great modern Batman storytellers like Scott Snyder and Tom King.

For the last ten years, penciler Daniel and colorist Morey have been a formidable art team, especially when it comes to Batman. The team launched the “City of Bane” story arc with writer Tom King, which concludes in December.

Tynion, Daniel, Miki, and Morey make their debut with issue #86 of Batman, on sale January 8, 2020.
