Classic Batman villains Catwoman, Penguin, and Riddler take center stage in Tom King's latest Batman story
https://www.gamesradar.com/Batman-kil...

In March 2022, writer Tom King's creative relationship with Batman continues to grow with a new title that pits the Dark Knight against a collective of some of his most famous and fearsome villains, including Catwoman, Riddler, and Penguin. 

The six-issue series is titled Batman: Killing Time, and will feature art from David Marquez and Alejandro Sánchez. The first issue will include a variety of variant covers from Kael Ngu, Alex Garner, Peach Momoko, and Carlos D'Anda.

King is hardly a stranger to Batman, or to Catwoman. Following an 80-issue run on the core Batman title in which Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle's on-again-off-again relationship became the core story of the book, with the pair even becoming engaged. However, Selina left Bruce at the altar, leading to King's current Batman/Catwoman 12-issue series which focuses on an alternate view of their relationship.

In Batman: Killing Time (which apparently takes place sometime earlier in Batman's career), Selina is still at her semi-villainous ways, planning a heist alongside Riddler and Penguin to steal a "priceless artifact" in the possession of none other than Bruce Wayne. But it looks like Catwoman may have a little hero in her after all, as the solicitation text for Batman: Killing Time #1 teases "a bloody double-cross or two".

Tom King Batman: Killing Time #1 goes on sale on March 1.

Batman Beyond get a new twist in the next chapter of Sean Murphy's White Knight saga
https://www.gamesradar.com/batman-bey...

The third chapter in Sean Murphy's saga Batman: White Knight will begin this March with Batman: Beyond the White Knight #1. The eight-part series is set 10 years after the original story that kicked off the White Knight franchise's alternate timeline in the DC Omniverse, and opens with Bruce Wayne still in prison - but he won't stay that way.

Gotham Motors (and its CEO Derek Powers) have seized control of the Wayne family fortune, using it - and everything that the Wayne family possessed - to change Neo-Gotham and the para-military police group known as the Gotham Terrorist Oppression Unit (GTO) for their own nefarious purposes.

When a young man named Terry McGinnis (yes, Batman Beyond Terry McGinnis) steals a Batman suit from Gotham Motors in order to become Batman himself, Bruce breaks out of prison in an attempt to stop him from following in his footsteps. According to DC however, to do it Bruce will need some "old friends… and old enemies" at his side.

While that could include the reformed former Joker Jack Napier, DC mentions another character to appear in Beyond the White Knight: Jason Todd.

"I really missed working in Gotham and it feels so great to be back," says Murphy in the announcement. "Drawing Neo-Gotham as an upgraded, retrofitted futurescape has been a blast. I'm working hard to blend the Beyond aesthetic with the White Knight world. Batman Beyond and Terry McGinnis fans will get everything they loved about the animated series, as well as a few twists."
Batman: Beyond the White Knight #1 (of 8) goes on sale on March 29.
