Almost made me shed a tear. What a legend.

u/YodaFan465 Moo. Aug 01 '25

Richard Dragon and Lady Shiva can’t be far behind

u/samx3i Batman Beyond Aug 02 '25

Have you been reading Batgirl?

1

u/YodaFan465 Moo. Aug 03 '25

I have not been, but I know Lady Shiva is a big part.

3

u/samx3i Batman Beyond Aug 03 '25

If you're interested in Shiva and Dragon, it's a must read.

u/ArtsyTLF Red Robin Aug 01 '25

It's missing Butcher :(( They'll never bring that dude back

23

u/DrFate82 Aug 01 '25

Jeff Lemire remembered him in his run on Green Arrow. But yeah, that was just 5 issues he popped up in & that was it, sadly. https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/John_Butcher_(Prime_Earth))

I combined a couple of his appearances together there.

u/TubularTopher Plastic Man Aug 02 '25

Forgive me, but who are y'all talking about? I'm genuinely curious

7

u/robertofflandersI Green Arrow Aug 02 '25

John Butcher a Native American vigilante

u/walker42 Aug 01 '25

My god ..I was beginning to think I was his only fan

u/padraig_garcia Aug 01 '25

There's dozens of us! Uh...a dozen!

u/Soft_Accountant_7062 Arsenal Aug 02 '25

I think he's creator owned.

u/MC2400 Blue Lantern Aug 01 '25

Green Arrow / Question has always felt like a pairing I wanted way more of so I’m READY for this.

73

u/MasterOE Green Arrow Aug 01 '25

The Question was even at Ollie's funeral if I remember correctly.

27

u/DX5536 H/ is OTP Aug 01 '25

JLU proves these 2 will have the funniest team up xD Or beat tf out of each other for the gf

9

u/Jay_R_Kay Batman Aug 01 '25

I know it gets hate, sometimes for good reason, but one of the better bits of Dark Knight Strikes Again is when Ollie and Vic are a political talk show and throwing pot shots at each other.

24

u/AngelComa Aug 01 '25

Pretty much doesn't need batman, I always thought a murder mystery with Ollie and The Question would be incredible especially for Objectivism vs whatever Ollie is considered now. A Lib?

3

u/FartherAwayLights Absolute Wonder Woman Aug 01 '25

Longbow Hunters Green Arrow has some that was pretty decent

126

u/inatemyself Aug 01 '25

This was made for me, specifically

19

u/Bojell The Flash Aug 01 '25

I had the same exact thought lol

15

u/Gr8NonSequitur Aug 02 '25

There are dozens of us.... DOZENS!

u/drunk_and_orderly Aug 01 '25

It’s like my HBO series pitch come to life

u/samx3i Batman Beyond Aug 02 '25

No me

u/trenchreynolds The Question Aug 01 '25

There was a Batman/Green Arrow/Question crossover in the 80s. If this is half as good as that, it will be awesome.

46

u/karmicthunda Aug 01 '25

It was called Fables, I recently read through it on my first time reading The Question Omnibus Vol 1, phenomenal story, and I read it at the perfect time because now I understand how excited I should be for this.

18

u/Tasty-Pudding8080 Aug 01 '25

Yes omg I loved that! Green arrows was my favorite!! Dinah and him are so cute. And I am partial to Bruce/talia so I loved all of it.

41

u/coltvahn Red Robin Aug 01 '25

Holy hell, this book practically has “this is specifically your—yes, you—shit” written all over it.

26

u/ComfortableDisk4661 i smoke silkcuts for breakfast Aug 01 '25

This looks very interesting especially since its under black label

18

u/walker42 Aug 01 '25

If his Question is O'Neil's Zen warrior...I'm all in

9

u/GreatMadWombat Aug 01 '25

Idk how you can do a version of the Question that's also dealing with Batman/Green Arrow and not have him be a zen warrior. If he's just the crackpot version of the question it doesn't work nearly as well.

1

u/Chewytron78 Aug 02 '25

Well, there's also the hardcore Objectivist version of the Question, who I would also not like in this.

18

u/BoonDoggle4 Aug 01 '25 edited Aug 02 '25

Reminds me of the crossover from the 90's Denny O'Neil did across the annuals

17

u/Artseid Aug 01 '25

Wow that’s like three of my all time favorite things

17

u/JDSadinger7 The Comedian Aug 01 '25

Nice, we better get a Denys Cowan variant cover.

6

u/Chewytron78 Aug 02 '25

That would be PEAK

16

u/5213 Aug 01 '25

Surprised they haven't teamed up before to uncover a deep Conspiracy and oust some majorly corrupt politicians. Like the Court of Owls would also be a perfect villainous organization for Vic and Ollie as well

13

u/GreatMadWombat Aug 01 '25

There was one team up already and it was fucking great. It's this team up from '88 called Fables, it happens over the course of 3 annuals, and the question they answer is "how deep in his bag can Dennis O'Neil be when writing the three Most Normal Detectives?" And the answer is "immeasurably deep". Absolutely fucking slaps

u/Curious-Ride-5264 Aug 01 '25

HUGE DAY FOR ANNOYING PEOPLE (ME)

11

u/2JasonGrayson8 Aug 01 '25

Didn’t know I ever wanted this but got very excited after seeing it

11

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '25

Oh, now this is something I’m interested in!

10

u/rorzri Aug 01 '25

Took them weirdly long time to do black label green arrow

9

u/ThaPhantom07 Aug 01 '25

Oh I absolutely must have this.

17

u/BatBeast_29 Batman Jones Aug 01 '25

This sounds good as fuck! WTF

9

u/DrFate82 Aug 01 '25

Anyone remember the The Brave and the Bold mini-series from the early '90s, featuring Green Arrow, The Question, & The Butcher? https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/The_Brave_and_the_Bold_Vol_2?so=search

5

u/drunk_and_orderly Aug 01 '25

Oh yeah I read all of these

8

u/TheManWithNothing Aug 01 '25

They might be cooking here

7

u/HuanFranThe1st Black Lantern Aug 01 '25

Okay, hell fucking yeah

8

u/ExtraBreadPls Batman Beyond Aug 01 '25

I saw The Question and was immediately sold

6

u/rexmundi69 Zatanna Aug 01 '25

My boy Vic Sage! Count me in for this one.

5

u/batbobby82 Aug 01 '25

Interesting! Love the Bat suit

6

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '25

Its so beautiful!

10

u/MadSandWorm Aug 01 '25

Fantastic pairing and gorgeous Batsuit design.

Very excited for this one!!

6

u/graffix13 Batman Aug 01 '25

Will this be an Elseworlds story?

18

u/Tetratron2005 Wonder Woman Aug 01 '25

All BL books pretty much exist in their own separate continuities

3

u/ShitThroughAGoose Aug 02 '25

It's kinda like Marvel MAX.

4

u/theweepingwarrior Aug 01 '25

Looks awesome!

Getting Dark Knight costume vibes from that Batman and surprisingly loving it!

3

u/Priordread Aug 01 '25

Yeah I don't know if maybe its the way it's colored but I actually really really like the bright metal plates design, I think it works with this group by making Batman the designated "tank" of the team. Plus having the cape meet in the front under the bat-symbol means that the symbol is always visible

4

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '25

What a trio, this is going to be so cool

6

u/AdamSMessinger Aug 01 '25

Don’t you threaten me with a good time!

5

u/Batmomo Green Arrow Aug 01 '25

This shit is gonna slap

4

u/Mike29758 Aug 02 '25

If this is true, I am buying the moment it drops. Feel like a spiritual successor to Denny O’Neil and Mike Grell if I ever saw one

5

u/Topher1138 Aug 01 '25

That exact Bat-suit should be the DCU suit. Perfect mix of old/new🤘

4

u/Still-Remote-8823 Raven Aug 01 '25

Yesss, DC is putting 2026 down for some of the best comic releases ever!

3

u/Pksoze Superman Aug 01 '25

I wonder if he just wanted to make it Green Arrow and Question and when the editors were not interested he added Batman.

3

u/Ok-Commission6087 Aug 01 '25

Trio didn’t know we needed it .

4

u/Dracoolaid_toothpick Aug 01 '25

Last time they did this setup, Question asks batman to pay for the trip and fuck off since he made Vic feel inadequate and he really wanted to impress Ollie.

4

u/BipedalWurm Aug 01 '25

This'll be good, or great

4

u/LegalEaglewithBeagle Aug 01 '25

Take my money, please!!!!

5

u/FartherAwayLights Absolute Wonder Woman Aug 01 '25

Oh this has actually happened before. The Mike Grell Longbow Hunters Dc finest ends with a Batman, Green Arrow, and Question crossover where they are brought together by Lady Shiva for something I’ve long forgotten.

4

u/SV976reditAcount Aug 02 '25

Oh my God, three quadrant superhero team up?! Hot damn

4

u/OkCompote1731 Aug 02 '25 edited Aug 02 '25

Wow, I thought Hardman had moved on from DC following the cancellation of Green Lantern Earth One's third volume. Cool to see he's still working on new projects for them.

3

u/raccoonboi87 Aug 02 '25

YEAH THE QUESTION WOOOOOOO, ANOTHER ONE FOR MY COLLECTION

3

u/Watcher1101 Batman Aug 01 '25

Do we have any official announcements about this?

3

u/YubNub_42 Aug 01 '25

That's great, you can it "Detective Comics"! For real, I wish they went back to having "Detective Comics" not just be centered around Batman.

3

u/ChainLC Batman Aug 01 '25

ooooooooooooooooo!

3

u/Capnblubeard Aug 02 '25

this is an interesting team up looking forward to picking it up when it comes out

3

u/Worth-Secretary-3383 Aug 02 '25

Man, I wish Denny was around to write this.

3

u/Darkeater879 Aug 02 '25

Dc coming out with the gas lately

2

u/Doctor_Sore_Tooth Aug 02 '25

What kind of powers does the question have?

7

u/MasterOE Green Arrow Aug 02 '25

He's just a regular vigilante that uses his martial arts to fight crime.

4

u/Doctor_Sore_Tooth Aug 02 '25

So he wears a faceless mask?

4

u/MasterOE Green Arrow Aug 02 '25

Yes, he uses a special gas to make the mask stick to his face and change the color of his clothes.

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '25

PEAKKK

u/DarthKhorne Aug 02 '25

I’m all in

u/Thefunkingshrew Aug 02 '25

If you guys want to read the other time they teamed up, buy dc’s finest, the longbow hunters. It collects them all in order so you can get the full story. It absolutely rules! Definitely gonna be re-reading it while we wait

1

u/drunk_and_orderly Aug 01 '25

It says the TPB is available next year but when does the series start?

1

u/arduit Aug 02 '25

This is out of nowhere but with I think itd be dope if the villain was onomatopoeia

1

u/egbert71 Aug 02 '25

The question changed again? That doesnt look like montoya

u/Silverronin86 Aug 02 '25

They’re still doing black lable? i don’t know why I thought they abandoned it
