DC Comics Admits That Batman/The Shadow By Scott Snyder, Steve Orlando And Riley Rossmo – Exists

 

Bleeding Cool broke the story last week (though everyone did their level best to ignore it).

But now DC Comics, Dynamite and Condé Nasthave admitted that the Batman and The Shadow crossover in a six issue comic by Scott Snyder, Steve Orlando and Riley Rossmo exists.

In a press release, they quote Orlando as saying,

"Batman is a myth that transcends the comic book page and inspires us to achieve, while The Shadow is the cornerstone of so much of the pop culture and comics we see today. To bring together the World's Greatest Detective and the World's Greatest Mystery is an honor. BATMAN/THE SHADOW will pay tribute to legacies in comics and pulp fiction, as the two characters meet in a generations-deep conflict unlike any they've seen before, with a case that stretches back to the origins of time, and will redefine murder."

And that

Murder has come to Gotham. Gotham's protector, Batman, discovers a trail of evidence that leads to a suspect by the name of Lamont Cranston. The only problem is—Cranston has been dead for over fifty years! As Batman attempts to unravel the enigma surrounding Cranston's life, the mysterious Shadow will do everything in his power to stop him from learning too much.

Issue 1 is out on April 26th. Ooh and here's some artwork.
