DC2’s Version of Batman ’66 #1 Batusi’s on to Comixology

Posted on by

Holy high tech, Batman!  Today marks the release of highly anticipated new Digital-First comic Batman ’66 #1. This is the first release in DC Entertainment’s DC2 initiative. DC2’s dynamic artwork brings the classic TV show’s action and retro attitude to life for comic readers through an expanded storytelling canvas as each comic panel tells a multi-dimensional story through layered artwork and sequences. DC2 interactivity is built exclusively on the comiXology platform and will be offered to readers using the DC Comics or comiXology apps or online through www.readdcentertainment.com or comixology.com

Batman ’66 is inspired by the classic TV series and is one of the many planned tie-ins for that popular classic television series. Written by Jeff Parker, the series features artwork by Jonathan Case and a cover art by Michael Allred. The all-new stories portray The Caped Crusader, The Boy Wonder and their fiendish rogues gallery just the way viewers remember them. In the first adventure, The Riddler’s out to steal valuable artwork from under the nose of Gotham’s police force and Batman gets help from an unlikely source: a certain femme fatale dressed in feline finery.

The first chapter of Batman ’66 is available for download today, and monthly print issues that collect three digital chapters will also be for sale in comic book shops across the U.S., with the first print issue hitting stands on Wednesday, July 17. Non-DC2 versions of Batman ’66 will also be available for download on other digital platforms including iBookstore, Kindle Store and Nook Store.

dc-logo-252x300DC Comics has seemed to leap frog their competitors when it comes to digital comic books after they unveiled to new digital initiatives that takes comics to a new level of interactivity. At the opening of Time Warner’s “The Future of Storytelling” exhibition, DC announced  DC2 and DC2 Multiverse.

DC2 is a new initiative that layers dynamic artwork onto digital comic panels, adding a new level of dimension to digital storytelling. DC2 Multiverse technology allows readers to determine a specific story outcome by selecting individual characters, storylines and plot developments while reading the comic, meaning one chapter of a digital comic has dozens of possible story outcomes. Yes, that means choose your own adventure comics!

DC2 will first appear in the highly-anticipated new Digital-First title Batman ’66, based on the popular 1960s television show, and the dynamic artwork features will bring the show’s action and retro attitude to life for comic readers. Readers will experience an expanded storytelling canvas as each comic panel tells a multi-dimensional story through layered artwork and sequences.

Digital-First title Batman: Arkham Origins, based on the upcoming video game from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, will be the first to showcase DC2 Multiverse. DC2 Multiverse features dynamic artwork, along with action sounds and the ability to integrate a soundtrack – all while allowing readers to determine the fate of each storyline and character, including Super Heroes and Super Villains, with multiple options and end results available in each comic chapter. Only with DC Comics’ compelling rogues gallery will fans be just as excited to see what happens to Black Mask as they are to follow Batman’s adventures.
