Pulp heroes , like the Shadow , were one of the self-aggrandizing influences on Bill Kane and Bob Finger when they first came up with Batman over 75 years ago . And now , out of the blue , the Dark Knight is teaming up with the fabled detective for a new crossover series .
let out throughThe Hollywood Reportertoday , the appropriately style Batman / The Shadow ( written by Scott Snyder and Steve Orlando , with art from Riley Rossmo ) is a new six - part quislingism between DC and Dynamite Entertainment , and sees Batman chase down the liquidator of a Gotham citizen to the lead of a humans who ’s been dead for half a century . Little does Batman bang , however , that that Isle of Man is Lamont Cranston — the secret Shadow himself . And naturally , the Shadow is n’t going down without a scrap or two , even against Batman .
It ’s not actually the first sentence Batman ’s run across the Shadow — the two team up for two result in Batman # 253 back in the ‘ 70s — but decades after their last sexual union , it ’ll be interesting to pit one of comic ’s most famous character against the caption that inspired a whole generation of hero . Batman / The Shadow # 1 is due to hit stores in April .
