As the Darkseid War rages on, Batman’s role in Gotham City-—and the world—alters drastically as he’s forced to accept his new role as a God of Knowledge.
I know this doesn’t seem like there’s much Batman coming out that month, but remember Eternal is a weekly series. Not only will we get the usual Batman, Detective Comics and all of the other batbooks, but four extra-sized Eternal issues on top of it.
Batman is a big moneymaker for the company, and we won’t be seeing a shortage of stories anytime soon.
