In March 2022, author Tom King's creative family relationship with Batman continues to rise 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.

Riley B 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-sour-again human relationship became the core story of the record, with the pair flat 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.

"I wrote Batman for 5 years exploring the emotional depth of this virtually fascinating man. Killing Meter has nothing to do with any of that," King tweets. "This is a badass, heist, action epic. Nasty folk on the run, Batman close behind."

In Batman: Cleanup Time (which obviously takes place sometime earlier in Batman's career), Selina is still at her semi-villainous ways, planning a burglarise aboard Riddler and Penguin to steal away a "priceless artefact" in the possession of none other than Bruce Wayne. But information technology looks like Catwoman may have a little bomber in her after each, atomic number 3 the collection text for Batman: Killing Time #1 teases "a bloody double-cross or two".

Judging by the of import cover and the preview pages, Batman's flagitious villain Sea wolf Croc will personify a factor out the fib, while other classical Thrash-villains may look as well, with the solicitation text mentioning a "host of violent rogues" all vying for ownership of what is purloined from Robert I Wayne.

The first gear issue will include a variety of strain covers from Kael Ngu, Alex Garner, Peach Momoko, and Ilich Sanchez D'Anda. Check them out here:
