Red Hood has turned his back on the Bat-Family and is on the hunt for the Next Batman in Future State: Gotham, a new ongoing series by writers Joshua Williamson and Dennis Culver, and artist Giannis Milonogiannis.
Set in the world of DC Future State, this new series continues the story of Red Hood working as a bounty hunter for The Magistrate, as part of their "zero tolerance" policy on masked vigilantes in Future State: Dark Detective. Future State: Gotham is set against the backdrop of a possible future Gotham City seen in other titles such as Future State: The Next Batman, Future State: Harley Quinn, Future State: Robin Eternal and Future State Nightwing. "Rendered in stark, black and white tones, Future State: Gotham will evoke the gritty, noir aesthetic that reinforces Gotham City as a living, breathing part of any Bat-family story," the description reads.
Future State: Gotham kicks off May 11 with a six-issue story arc titled, "Hunt the Next Batman." The covers, solicitation, character design and sketch can be found below.
