News, Top Story

DC Comics Universe and Dark Nights Metal Spoilers follow for Batman and The Signal #1.

Batman and the Signal #1 is the launch of a 3 issue mini-series, a mini mini-series if you will.

It Has Gotham City’s New Day Time Robin Hero Duke Thomas Take Center Stage! The Preview for the book is MIA, but here is what we know so far.

The concept design for the character of Duke Thomas aka The Signal.

In addition to the cover for issue #1, we know what the cover to issue #2 looks like.

However, the solicited cover for Batman the Signal #3 is now variant for issue #1. We don’t have the Cully Hamner penned cover for issue #3 yet.

Also, Duke Thomas is no longer a Robin (from We Are Robin series), but…

…the Signal…

…with metal-induced sunburst powers as revealed in…

…the Dark Days the Casting prequel to Dark Nights Metal. He’s also gone through the three costumes we’ve shared above in under 3 years.

Anyhow, here are three of the…

…relevant pages…

…from that super-powers revelation for Duke Thomas from Dark Days The Casting.

Interesting. The preview and teaser pages for the debut remain MIA, but I wonder what is next for Duke Thomas after his mini mini-series?
