Two animated heroes will team up again in ‘Batman/Static: Beyond’

Two Kids WB staples will return in a six-issue miniseries this fall.

Fans of Batman Beyond and Static Shock, get ready — the two heroes will come together once again in the DC Elseworlds miniseries Batman/Static: Beyond by Evan Narcisse and Nikolas Draper-Ivey.

The duo previously teamed up on the Static Shock animated series when Static went forward in time and ended up helping Terry McGinnis, the future Batman, save Static’s future self. They also appeared together most recently in the pages of the Milestone 30th Anniversary Special.

This story will take place in the future, showing us more of the adult version of Static, as well as Justice League Beyond.

“Static is a former teen hero who grew up to take on even more responsibility for his city and the larger world, while Terry is still figuring out how to do those things in his own way,” Narcisse said. “Terry’s still a high school student but he’s also got the weight of the Batman mantle and the expectations that come with it as key parts of his life now. As an adult member of the Justice League, Virgil’s at a different part of his journey. But he’s driven by an adolescence where systemic injustice changed what it meant to live in his hometown of Dakota. Their approaches to making the world a safer, more just place are extremely different. That difference energizes the big question they have to deal with: can they learn to work together during a critical moment when everything they’ve taken for granted has fallen apart? The whole creative team is going to try and answer that question in Batman/Static: Beyond with a story where deep emotions collide against the backdrop of an uncertain future.”
