Batman is DC Comics' flagship, so its fitting (nigh, deserved) that its the first big DC Comics panel at this year's Comic-Con International: San Diego. Batman boss Rob Levin is taking to the stage on two fronts, both for the hit series Absolute Batman, as well as the classic universe Gotham titles... especially as it leads into the upcoming 'Bad Seeds' crossover arc.

The SDCC 2026 panel 'DC's Gotham City' is scheduled to star G. Willow Wilson (Poison Ivy), Matt Fraction (Batman), Tom Taylor (Detective Comics), Tate Brombal (Batgirl), Christopher Cantwell (Gotham Central), and Scott Snyder (Absolute Batman), but with the proverbial panel room door always open to a few surprises.

Come back Friday at 11:15 PM Pacific time (that's 2:15pm Eastern!) for our live play-by-play of the 'DC's Gotham City' panel live from San Diego:
