Tom King and David Marquez’s new DC title, Batman: Killing Time, pits the Dark Knight against Catwoman, Riddler and Penguin.
DC has exclusively provided CBR with both the solicitation information for, and an exclusive look at, Batman: Killing Time.
Written by Tom King and illustrated by David Marquez and Alejandro Sánchez, Batman: The Killing Time is a six-issue series. According to the solicitation information, Bruce Wayne/Batman will find himself up against Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Edward Nygma/Riddler and Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin after they pull off a huge robbery.
Much of King’s work on Batman has spotlighted his relationship with Catwoman. During his time on the main Batman title following the DC Rebirth relaunch in 2016, King developed the relationship between Bruce and Selina to the point where they were engaged to be married. However, in the end, Selina opted not to marry Bruce, deciding it would impede his ability to help the people of Gotham City. Following his departure from Batman, King began work on Batman/Catwoman, a twelve-issue series with artists Clay Mann and Liam Sharp. As Batman/Catwoman #10 releases in February, it seems likely Batman: The Killing Time will be available at the same time as that series.
Prior to Catwoman becoming more of an antihero, she often found herself working with Batman’s rogues’ gallery. The 1960s live-action Batman series regularly had Catwoman team up with Penguin and Riddler in hopes of defeating the Dark Knight. Based on the solicitation for the book, Batman: Killing Time takes place earlier in the Dark Knight’s career and thus that supervillain trio are still working together.

Releasing March 1, 2022, Batman: The Killing Time features covers from David Marquez and Alejandro Sánchez; Kael Ngu; Alex Garner; Peach Momoko; and Carlos D’Anda.
