DC Comics and Kodansha are teaming up for a series of manga books to release this fall. The manga series Superman vs. Meshi, Batman: Justice Buster, and Joker: One Operation Joker will be made available in English for the first time. Each title will first launch exclusively on DC UNIVERSE INFINITE, and the platform will be updated with a new manga-friendly reader.
The news comes today from DC Comics’ presentation at the ComicsPRO trade association for comic book retailers. Superman vs. Meshi started publishing in June 2021, Batman: Justice Buster in December 2022, and Joker: One Operation Joker in June 2021.
Here’s a rundown of each of the three series:
Joker: One Operation Joker
Joker: One Operation Joker is the Joker like you’ve never seen him before…as a single father?! After a fateful encounter with Batman that results in the Dark Knight de-aging to a baby, Joker takes it upon himself to raise the child into the crusader of justice! But does the Clown Prince of Crime really understand what it means to be Batman—or, more importantly, what it means to raise a baby all by yourself? Joker: One Operation Joker is written by Satoshi Miyagawa (Uchuu Senkan Tiramisu) with art by Keisuke Gotou.
Batman: Justice Buster
In Batman: Justice Buster, Gotham City has been under the protection of Batman for only a short amount of time, but since the vigilante’s appearance, crime has changed. It’s gotten more bold, more destructive. As Batman tries to rise to meet these new threats, he develops a computer system, ROBIN, to help him analyze and subdue the rising criminal tide and hopefully one day put an end to crime in Gotham. Batman: Justice Buster is written and illustrated by Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi (Ultraman).
Superman vs. Meshi
It’s hungry work being Superman! That’s why every day for lunch in Superman vs. Meshi, Superman makes a quick stop over in Japan to try a new chain restaurant. Whether it’s a hearty bowl of curry or conveyor-belt sushi, the Man of Steel loves to indulge in the delectable delicacies the country has to offer. He’ll even share a meal with the other members of the Justice League from time to time in the hopes of showing them an incredible culinary experience. Superman vs. Meshi is written by Satoshi Miyagawa with art by Kai Kitago.
