With DC Pride 2022 on the horizon, DC Comics is rounding out its creative teams with Kevin Conroy and J. Bone joining an already stacked lineup of talent for the anthology issue.
Conroy, who voiced Batman / Bruce Wayne in Batman: The Animated Series and The New Batman Adventures, will pen "Finding Batman," which is described as a "personal story," with art from Bone (DC Super Friends) and letters by Aditya Bidikar (Bloodborne).
The 104-page prestige format issue will feature an introduction by Supergirl star Nicole Maines, which will also tease Maines' upcoming project with DC. Maines played Nia Nal / Dreamer, the first transgender superhero to appear on TV, on The CW series
The other stories in the anthology and the confirmed characters they follow include:
- "Super Pride" by Devin Grayson, Nick Robles, Triona Farrell and Bidikar (Superman / Jon Kent)

DC Pride 2022 will hit physical and virtual shelves on May 31, but DC will kick off Pride Month celebrations even earlier with the release of Galaxy: The Prettiest Star, a young adult graphic novel releasing on May 17 that will introduce Taylor, an "alien princess disguised as a human boy."
DC Comics will also launch several series and one-shots focusing on LGBTQ characters in June, including Poison Ivy by G. Willow Wilson and Marcio Takara, Nubia: Queen of the Amazons by Stephanie Williams, Alitha Martinez and Mark Morales, DC Pride: Tim Drake Special by Meghan Fitzmartin, Belén Ortega and Alberto Jimenez Alburquerque, and Multiversity: Teen Justice by Ivan Cohen, Danny Lore, Marco Failla and Enrica Eren Angiolini.
