Duke Thomas

In the most recent book that leads up to DC Comics Dark Nights: Metal event, Duke Thomas, who is the latest of Batman’s partners in crimefighting was told by The Joker that he isn’t a regular person, in fact, he’s a metahuman, one who is a “signal” for what’s to come. Well, at San Diego Comic Con via an interview with Comic Book Resources, Scott Snyder revealed that Duke is getting his own ongoing series that’ll spin out of Metal called Batman: The Signal. What makes this series so interesting to Snyder is that the book will about Duke being a “hero-by-day”, and that’s something Gotham’s never really had before: “What I will say about The Signal, or Signal, is that Duke is a character I’ve had a lot invested in for a long time, and there’s been so many calls to get him his own book and his own name and his own story. But, I didn’t want to do it before I felt we had the right platform.”
