Two of the biggest animated DC heroes of the early ’00s will soon unite, as DC Comics has announced Batman/Static: Beyond, a six-issue series launching this fall. Part of the DC Elseworlds imprint, Evan Narcisse will write this series, joined by illustrator Nikolas Draper-Ivey. The series brings together two of DC’s popular future heroes, Terry McGinnis/Batman, and Virgil Hawkins, Dakota City’s Static. Only this Static is now all grown up. This new Dynamic Duo will join forces for a high-stakes mission that could reshape Earth’s place in the cosmos.
As DC notes of Batman/Static: Beyond, “the series unites two of DC’s most dynamic heroes—Terry McGinnis, the cyberpunk guardian of Neo-Gotham, and Virgil Hawkins, the electrifying architect of Dakota City’s future, both renowned for being breakout animated stars—for a high-stakes mission that could reshape Earth’s place in the cosmos.”
You can read the official description of Batman/Static: Beyond below, as well as check out the different covers in our gallery above.
In the debut issue, Terry McGinnis patrols the neon-lit streets of Neo-Gotham while Virgil Hawkins pioneers a technological revolution with the launch of the Q-Wave Energy Grid. As Earth prepares to join a powerful interplanetary alliance called the Cooperative, the Justice League Beyond stands ready to usher in a new era of peace. But when a mysterious villain triggers a global blackout, the planet’s future hangs in the balance. With technology crippled and chaos rising, Static and Batman Beyond must forge an unlikely alliance and take a grounded approach to saving the world before it’s too late.
This issue will be a throwback for fans of Justice League Unlimited. It was that series that first introduced the adult Static in a time-travel episode. Writer Evan Narcisse said of this new series, “I loved the dynamic Nik set up between Static and Batman in the Milestone 30th Anniversary Special, where these characters first teamed up. And the most exciting part of this new project has been exploring how different Terry and Virgil are from each other.”
Series artist Nikolas Draper-Ivey added, “This story is intended to be a commentary on our overreliance on technology, and the imminent dangers of becoming complacent and too comfortable using AI to substitute our own imagination and human ingenuity. We now use our watches to find our phones, we use our phones to connect to everything else. We don’t rely on our own memories, we rely on technology to remember for us. That deeply concerns me.” Sounds as if this series will have more going on than just nostalgia.
The first issue of Batman/Static: Beyond arrives on November 1.
The series will run for six issues, with a collected edition scheduled for release on August 4, 2026.
