Future State: Batman/Superman – DC Comics – (2021) – Volume 1 – Limited Series – #1–2

📘 Series Summary

Set within the dystopian timeline of DC's Future State event, this 2-issue Limited Series explores the early days of the Magistrate's fascist occupation of Gotham City. Written by Gene Luen Yang with moody, atmospheric art by Ben Oliver and Stephen Segovia, the story follows Bruce Wayne as he makes the desperate decision to call in the Man of Steel for backup. However, Gotham has become a death trap for Kryptonians, and the Magistrate's "Peacekeepers" are ready for the Last Son of Krypton.

The narrative dives into the gruesome underworld of a city under siege, featuring a terrifyingly transformed Professor Pyg utilizing Kryptonite scalpels for his sick body modifications. As Batman races against time to rescue a fallen Superman from subterranean Kryptonite caverns, the story uncovers a pivotal moment that drives a permanent wedge between the World's Finest heroes. It is a dark, high-stakes thriller that bridges the gap between the modern DC era and the grim future of the Magistrate's rule.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • A key chapter of the Future State event, detailing the fall of Gotham and the rise of the Magistrate.
  • Features a horrific reimagining of Professor Pyg as a biological threat to the Man of Steel.
  • Stunning interior artwork by Ben Oliver, known for his high-detail, painterly style.
  • Showcases an Arthur Adams variant cover gallery that captures the classic power of both heroes.
  • Reveals the "secret fracture" in the relationship between Bruce and Clark that defines their Future State status quo.
  • A self-contained two-part epic that perfectly encapsulates the "Dark Future" aesthetic of 2021 DC titles.
