Batman, Grifter, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, more lead new DC title launching in March

Batman, Grifter, and the Outsiders serials will lead a new ongoing DC anthology launching this March titled Batman: Urban Legends.
Picking up the 'Future State' anthology format (along with some of its serials and creators), the 64-page monthly Batman: Urban Legends anthology will be the third major Batman title, standing alongside Batman and Detective Comics.

Writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Eddy Barrows will lead the anthology, with a six-part Batman/Red Hood story that finds Jason Todd investigating a new lethal drug that is sweeping Gotham City.

"In the course of one night, this investigation will change his life forever – and put him in Batman's crosshairs," reads DC's announcement.



And Future State: Grifters writer Matthew Rosenberg will continue his dalliance with the WildStorm hero with an artist who's drawn more Grifter solo stories than anyone: Ryan Benjamin.

"[Continuing] from the pages of Batman #101, gun-for-hire Cole Cash is still in Gotham, on the trail of the true motives of the Halo Corporation...and yes, Batman and Grifter go head-to-head again!"

Benjamin drew much of the 1995 Grifter solo series, as well as the 2007 Grifter and Midnighter limited series.

And speaking of history, the friendship/romance of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy will be tackled head-on in a story by upcoming Harley Quinn writer Stephanie Phillips and Future State: The next Batman artist Laura Braga. Set before the launch of Phillips' new Harley Quinn ongoing with artist Riley Rossmo, this Batman: Urban Legends story will "help Harley sort out her complicated history with Poison Ivy – but first she'll have to find her!"

Rounding out the anthology's first issue will be the first in a three-part Outsiders serial that reunites Black Lightning, Katana, and Metamorpho after the team's breakup earlier this year in the Batman and the Outsiders finale. The highs of the reunion will be short-lived, as DC teases the return of "a figure from Katana's past!"

In what's becoming a familiar trend, the story is written by Future State: Outsiders writer Brandon Thomas - with Max Dunbar stepping in on art.

Batman may be the biggest name in Gotham City, but there are lots of other heroes—and villains—who will get a turn to shine in Batman: Urban Legends, a brand-new monthly series tying into the biggest events in Gotham City. The series begins with these can't-miss tales:
• Superstar writer Chip Zdarsky enters the world of Gotham City with celebrated Detective Comics and DC Future State: Robin Eternal artist Eddy Barrows for a six-part story chronicling Red Hood's investigation of a new drug sweeping through Gotham. It's a night that will change his life forever—and put him in Batman's crosshairs.
• Writer of the DC Future State "Grifters" story Matthew Rosenberg picks up where he left off, continuing from the pages of Batman #101! Superstar artist Ryan Benjamin joins the team as we learn why Cole Cash is in Gotham in a tale that hints at what Halo might be...and we also get Batman vs. Grifter—round two!
• New Harley Quinn writer Stephanie Phillips and DC Future State: The Next Batman artist Laura Braga join forces for a Harley tale set just before the launch of her new series. Harley's determined to sort out her history with Poison Ivy—but first, she'll have to find her!
• Coming off the DC Future State "Outsiders" tale, writer Brandon Thomas begins a three-part saga reuniting Black Lightning, Katana, and Metamorpho. But this reunion quickly turns into a confrontation with a figure from Katana's past, in a story drawn by fan-favorite artist Max Dunbar (Champions, Dungeons and Dragons, Judge Dredd)!
