Turns out, there was a second hidden reveal in plain sight in Marvel and DC’s announcement of the upcoming Deadpool/Batman crossovers this fall: DC’s new Batman logo — its first all-new logo in more than a decade.

For the last 14 years, DC’s primary Batman comic has featured multiple evolutions of a logo introduced as part of the ‘New 52’ relaunch of DC’s entire publishing line back in 2011. That logo stayed essentially consistent through 2021’s Batman #106, where it received a font change although the Bat-Symbol remained the same; with the following year’s Batman #125, the Bat-Symbol was removed as an individual design element, and placed inside the font; by the current point in the Batman comic book’s life, its logo looks significantly different than it did back in 2011, but each iteration has been based on the one before.

That looks set to change this September.

The Batman logo that appears on the promo images for both Marvel’s Deadpool/Batman and DC’s Batman/Deadpool hasn’t been seen before, but the September date for Deadpool/Batman coincides with DC’s relaunch of the main Batman comic book from the creative team of Matt Fraction and Jorge Jiménez, which sees a revised costume for the character… and a new Bat-symbol that matches the logo that appears in the new cross-company promotional images:

September is a new Bat-era filled with new Bat-looks, it seems. Does this mean we can expect a line-wide makeover for the other Batman comics? We’ll find out in the coming months — keep an eye on Popverse for more as we find out… or just look in the skies at night for the Bat-Signal.
