Written by Evan Narcisse with art by Nikolas Draper-Ivey, Batman/Static: Beyond is a six-issue limited series Elseworlds tale from DC Comics debuting November 12, 2025. The series is a spiritual sequel to Static Beyond, a short story Nikolas Draper-Ivey wrote and illustrated for the Milestone 30th Anniversary Special.

In an interview with DC Nation, Narcisse described what we can expect for this team-up:

Oh man, they’re just such polar opposites in almost every way. They’re literally light and dark. Static’s the crackling charge that lights the way out of darkness, and Batman is an avatar of shadow incarnate, everything you should be scared of if you’ve hurt someone. They have different foundational experiences, divergent philosophies, and extremely contrasting methodologies. So of course, there’s going to be lots of juicy tension!

Terry McGinnis patrols the neon-lit streets of Neo-Gotham while Virgil Hawkins pioneers a technological revolution with the launch of the Q-Wave Energy Grid. As Earth prepares to join a powerful interplanetary alliance called the Cooperative, the Justice League Beyond stands ready to usher in a new era of peace. But when a mysterious villain triggers a global blackout, the planet’s future hangs in the balance. With technology crippled and chaos rising, Static and Batman Beyond must forge an unlikely alliance and take a grounded approach to saving the world before it’s too late.
