Artist Bryan Hitch and writer Warren Ellis will reunite for The Batman's Grave, a 12-issue miniseries focused on the Dark Knight. Hitch has now shared some artwork from the book showing off his take on the Batmobile.Hitch shared a look at The Batman's Grave on Twitter, writing, "It doesn't give anything way so here's a sneak peak of one of the pages I drew today."
First appearing in 1989's Detective Comics #27, the Batmobile is the Dark Knight's most iconic vehicle, having appeared alongside him in various movies, video games and television shows. The Batmobile has changed a lot over the years and undergone several redesigns.
You can read a summary of the series below:
The team that brought us The Authority now turn their talents towards The World’s Greatest Detective, whose current case forces him to inhabit the mind of a murder victim with a half-eaten face—without filling the empty grave next to those of his parents.
But first, Ellis and Hitch get into the mind of a butler. Once a week, rain or shine, Alfred Pennyworth walks to a little cemetery plot in the Wayne Manor grounds. He meticulously tends to Thomas and Martha’s headstones, plinths and slabs: weeding, cleaning, polishing. But how much longer before there’s another Wayne memorial to tend to?
Within this dynamic duo’s new comic lives a Batman with an almost psychotic identification with murder victims. He immerses himself in their lives and obsesses over every detail of their deaths. Even as Batman would process the evidence and approach the perpetrator from one side, he would live inside the life of the victim as they approached their death.
The Batman's Grave #1 releases October 6 and will feature a variant cover from JeeHyung Lee.
