DC Comics Launch Gotham Central, Gotham General And Streets Of Gotham

DC Comics launch Gotham General, Gotham Central and Batman: Streets Of Gotham for Bad Seeds in September and October.

DC Comics has been posting the Batman Bad Seeds solicitations for September 2026 as part of their promotional livestream so after they woke me up, I went to have a look… and it includes the launches of three new titles, Gotham General #1 by Greg Rucka, Rosa Ekedal and Patricio Angel, Gotham Central #1 by Christopher Cantwell and Jacob Phillips, and Batman: Streets Of Gotham by Matt Fraction and Mariko Tamaki for October And Jeff Spokes joins Detective Comics. They are also dropping covers for October, but I am dropping as well. Or drooping. You pick.  There may be more to come, but I am losing consciousness again… I fear the morning… updating with a few of these from DC's September 2026 solicits and solicitations.

GOTHAM GENERAL #1

STORY: GREG RUCKA
ART: ROSA EKEDAL
COVER A: ROSA EKEDAL
Welcome to General, Gotham City's tier one trauma center.
Power is out, fires are burning, transpo is shot, and the calls just keep coming. There are more patients than beds, half presenting with respiratory complications, the other half suffering hallucinogenic psychotic episodes. In every other emergency department in the DCU, this would be a catastrophe.
For Dr. Ava Dastur and the men and women working at General, it's a Tuesday.
DC Comics is pleased to introduce you to the staff of Gotham General. No capes, no costumes, and don't call them heroes, this is their job.

With Vandal Savage diverting the GCPD's resources to his single-minded war against the Bats and the Bat-Family trying to stop Poison Ivy while evading the GCPD, there's almost no one left to do actual police work!
