Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and all of DC's May 2024 solicitations

Batman #147 variant cover by Ron Lim.

DC is looking ahead toward the start of summer with the release of the publisher's full May 2024 solicitations, which take DC's heroes in a variety of exciting directions.

First up, there's the just announced Boy Wonder limited series from writer/artist Juni Ba. Focusing on Damian Wayne as he teams up with Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, and Jason Todd to investigate a string of disappearances in Gotham.

Then there's Outsiders #7, which has a limited solicit which redacts the title of the upcoming arc. But one thing that seems to be the case is that someone may kick the bucket in the title, as Outsiders #7 promises a "requiem for a fallen friend."

Big changes may also be happening in The Flash #9, as it's teasing an upgrade for one of Flash's enemies, the Rogues - who all seem to be leveling up as Flash's world spins out of control.

There's also Batman: The Brave and the Bold #13, which contains several stories. The one that's particularly piqued our interest is a team-up between Batman and Green Lantern Guy Gardner, who have shared a not so friendly rivalry in the past, with Batman once having punched Guy's lights out. 

But that's just scratching the surface of another packed month of releases. Read on for a closer look at some of the biggest highlights from DC's May 2024 solicitations followed by all of the comics and trades. If you still want more, you can also check out all of Marvel and DC's recent listings here on our solicitations tab

The young prince Damian Wayne was raised to be the heir to the fearsome League of Assassins—to follow in the footsteps of his deadly mother, Talia, and the Demon’s Head himself, his grandfather Ra’s al Ghul. But everything changed when his father, the Batman, reclaimed him and brought him back to Gotham City. As Robin, young Damian suddenly discovered he was merely one of a number of princes, preceded in the role by his “brothers” Nightwing, Red Hood, and Red Robin…and Damian doesn’t care to be merely anything. But when his father is forced to leave the city on urgent business, and a rash of abductions is accompanied by whispers of a demon stalking Gotham’s dark alleys, Damian will find himself battling alongside his adoptive brothers—and in the process, learning what the mantle of Robin really means!

Visionary writer/artist Juni Ba makes his mark on the timeless story of Batman and Robin, synthesizing the characters’ complex history into an accessible and heartrending fairy tale!

Find out in this exciting story that promises to be a classic for years to come!
