Gotham By Gaslight: The Kryptonian Age heads up a new range of DC Elseworlds comics in 2024
As announced at NYCC today, a new line up of Elseworlds comics is on the way from DC with Batman and Green Lantern getting new out-of-continuity tales in 2024. Dark Knights of Steel and DC vs. Vampires are also set to get sequels.
