In the new Batman miniseries, Gotham City will have a hero to do work when Batman catches up on his sleep, AKA in the daytime. His former sidekick Duke Thomas will step up to the plate and take on the job in 'Batman and The Signal.'





Although co-written by Scott Snyder and Tony Patrick, Hamner was asked about the art behind the big change in color.

The artist began explaining, "We’ve seen in the movies, sometimes, a little bit of Gotham in the daytime, but traditionally the city is a nighttime environment," adding, "But I wanted to play with adding of reality to that, because obviously cities don’t just exist in the nighttime."





It seems the difference in colors directly correlate with the difference of character between Batman and Duke.





Hamner continues, "You’ve got Duke, who in this series is more of a figure of fun than you might expect. There’s a real sense of humor to this book that you don’t necessarily get in a regular Batman book."

'Batman and the Signal' No. 1 is set to release Jan. 3, 2018, and be sure to be ready for change upon reading!
