The first black man to be Batman gets his own comic in September, but instead of battling villains in Gotham, he's protecting the citizens of Africa.
Batwing, the African superhero first introduced in Batman Inc., gets his own comic this fall as part of DC's launch of 52 new #1 issues. Long-time DC writer Judd Winick, who's also launching a new Catwoman series in September, will create the comic with artist Ben Oliver.
Not much is known about Batwing, but according to Winick, that's one of the things the writer is enjoying the most, as he builds the African corner of the DCnU.
Winick: Batwing is the Batman of Africa. And he flies. And he's a superhero, complete with supervillains and everything you would expect from a superhero book.
You'll find a lot of cool and whimsical things in the Batwing comic that you won't see anywhere else, like Batwing fighting a battle over the pyramids of Egypt. Or the beautiful landscape of rural Africa. But at the same time, you'll see superhero battles that happen in the slums of the city. So there's a lot going on here.
he's based in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Nrama: Have you been to the Congo?
Winick: No, but I'm thinking DC should send me there to check it all out. I think I'd need a month or so to really soak it up.
