Comic book universes are built upon the strength of cool crossovers. There is an obvious joy in seeing characters we don’t expect to interact show up on the same page together. Sometimes it is because their powers are so different, and sometimes it is because their view of the world contrasts so completely. Batman and Green Arrow might be the two “good” billionaires in the DC Comics, but they have totally different outlooks on what that means. Throw famous conspiracy theorist the Question into the mix, and you’ve got the upcoming four-issue comic from DC’s Black Label imprint.
The story for Batman/Green Arrow/The Question: Arcadia comes from Inception storyboard artist Gabriel Hardman, who says that the story is partly inspired by the work of Denny O’Neil, Denys Cowan, and Mike Grell, but promises it won’t be an exercise in nostalgia. “I’m taking the grounded approach they spearheaded in the late 80s and moving forward, having these three difficult, opinionated personalities confront a contemporary brand of criminality on a global scale.”
Batman/Green Arrow/The Question: Arcadia follows the three heroes as they find themselves on opposing sides of Arcadia, an ocean-sailing city that is being constructed off the coast of Greenland. Bruce Wayne forms a “tenuous bond” with the billionaire climate visionary at the heart of Arcadia while Green Arrow and The Question investigate the “dark realities hidden beneath Arcadia’s utopian promise.”
Batman/Green Arrow/The Question: Arcadia #1 is set to publish on November 26, 2025. As part of the DC Black Label imprint, it will have a 17+ age content descriptor. A hardcover collection of all four comics in the series will be out on June 16, 2026.
