Big Sneak Preview Of Marc Silvestri Batman/Joker: The Deadly Duo
Bleeding Cool first scooped the news back in 2014 that Marc Silvestri was working on a Batman comic. But we understood even then that he had already been working on it for a couple of years. Then it was to be part of DC Rebirth in 2015. But it wasn't. In 2017 we learned it was a Batman/Joker Team-Up six-issue mini-series. Written and drawn by Marc Silvestri and edited by Matt Hawkins. But then nothing again… then it was officially announced in 2018. And then… nothing. In 2020, we heard it was Marc Silvestri holding out for a better deal. Basically what Greg Capullo got for Death Metal and not a cent less.
Now it has been scheduled for November 2023. Batman/The Joker: The Deadly Duo, a Black Label limited series with #1 for the 1st of November and #2 for the 6th of December. Now seven issues long. And here is your first substantial look at the comic from Bleeding Cool, as well as a video teaser.
