For the past several years, Tom King has been writing Batman in one way or the other, be it the main title, miniseries, or one-shots featuring Elmer Fudd that stand up as some of the finest Batman content the world has to offer, full stop. King’s presence in the Batman world will continue in 2022, as a new six-issue miniseries titled Batman: Killing Time has been announced.
And in King’s own words, it has nothing to do with anything else he’s done with the character.
Announcing *Batman: Killing Time* by me and @DaveMarquez
I wrote Batman for 5 years exploring the emotional depth of this most interesting man.
Killing Time has nothing to do with any of that. This is a badass, heist, action epic. Mean folk on the run, Batman close behind. 🦇💪 pic.twitter.com/AiyTbD1jCD
