Have you read it or not? Definitely Batman, You probably know that the DC book is charmingly over the top. A large Batman appears revised versions of his rogues gallery which is monstrously large Bane and as a living amalgamation of animal kingdoms like Killer Croc and Gorgud for Poison Ivy…whatever the hell this is a scary thing does. But what about the next villain our hero will fight? Well, it’s actually two villains, and both are quite personal.
DC Comics requires June 2026 Exposed by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta Definitely Batman #21 will debut this universe’s Two-Face and Penguin. In this continuity, Harvey Dent, Waylon Jones, Oswald Cobblepot, Selina Kyle, and Eddie Nygma were childhood friends of Bruce growing up. As adults, they all know about his nightlife, which leads to Bane’s brutal treatment of Eddie, Oz, and Harvey, causing the latter two to become angry at their friends.
This resentment seems to have now turned into a full-on villain, as the synopsis states that “friends become enemies, (and) enemies become friends.” Instead of taking on grotesque monster forms, Absolute Two-Face has grown his hair long to hide half of his face, which is blue as a nod to his more famous (and less terrifying) version. Batman: The Animated Series. And instead of a two-headed coin, there’s a poker chip to decide instead. As for Penguin, he uses machine guns as crutches and…yeah, I can stop there; this is cool as hell. Rejoice.
We’ll see when he can rekindle his friendship with Bruce Harvey and Oz Definitely Batman # 21 will be released on June 10.
