As part of DC's year-long global celebration of Batman's 80^thanniversary, DC is publishing Detective Comics #1000 on March 27, 2019. It includes all-new stories plus a wraparound cover from the Jim Lee, Scott Williams and colorist Alex Sinclair which you may have seen a bit of elsewhere. Here's the full thing.

Detective Comics #1000 starts with a new story by regular team Peter J. Tomasi and artist Doug Mahnke that launches a new story arc and introduces a new version of the Arkham Knight to DC comics canon. Tomasi wrote his video game origins in 2015's Batman: Arkham Knight – Genesis miniseries. And here he is.

Detective Comics#1000 also features a two-page spread spotlighting the current state of the Batman universe by Jason Fabok, plus these fine folks.
