Batman: The Imposter, ﷽what DC calls a "unique vision" and "a new♑ and different look at Gotham's guardian as he begins his war on crime," is an October-launching three-issue prestige format limited series.
Although not mentioned by the 𝕴publisher in the announcement, according to the cover images it'll be part of DC's Black Label mature readers imprint.
The high concept of the series is examining Batman through🌌 the lens of trying to make him and Gotham City seem as real as possible.
Warner Bros.'s own pro𒊎duction notes only list Reeves as the film's sole screenwriter.
Batman: The Imposter is illustrated by And♛rea Sorrentino, who has cut his Gotham City teeth on Batman-related titles like writer Jeff Lemire's and Batman: The Sm🍷ile Killer.
DC says Sorrentino has created a "gritty, hard-boiled version of Gotham City, wher👍e every punch leaꦍves a broken bone and every action has consequences far, far beyond Batman’s imagination!"
The storꦇy takes place early in Batman's career during the first year or so, but the new Dark Knight is seeing the positive results of his war on crime. Which of course, makes him the enemy of some very powerful players in Gotham City, who doesn't like what Batman is doing to upset their plans.
"&hell▨ip;and it seems one of them has a plan to neutralize him," reads DC's description.
But sort of in the spirit of some of the opening scenes of The Dark Knights, there's a second Batman s♛eemingly inspired by Bruce Wayne and this other Batﷺman has "no qualms about murdering criminals, live and on tape."
"With the entire might of the Gotham City Police Department and Gothamss rich and powerful coming down on his h☂ead, Batman must find this imposter and somehow clear his name," continues DC's description. "But how can you prove your innocence from behind a mask?
"As a lifelong Batman fan, putting my spin on Gotham City has been a dream come true," says Tomlin. "Taking the question of 'What if Batman was real?' as far as narratively possible conjured incredible potential that hasn'⛄t recently been explored in the comics. Batman: The Imposter treats Bruce Wayne and the people around him as tragically flawed and vividly real, with the obstacles Batman faces coming from a reality that closely mirrors our own."
Sorrentino will provide the cover 🍃to Batman: The Imposter #1 with a variant cover by Lee Bermejo.
