The DC Comics September 2025 Solicitations brings sweeping changes to the DC Universe. With the launch of a new Batman #1, a fresh Red Hood solo series, and major entries across the Absolute line, this month signals a creative recalibration for DC’s core heroes. The month also features expanded narratives in the Justice League, Superman, and Wonder Woman books, while titles like Supergirl, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn add variety to the lineup.
Matt Fraction and Jorge Jiménez headline the month’s biggest debut: a bold new Batman #1. This relaunch positions Bruce Wayne in uncharted territory, introducing thematic and visual shifts that promise to redefine the Dark Knight. Fraction’s track record on Hawkeye and Jimmy Olsen suggests a blend of wit and grit, while Jiménez’s dynamic style sets the tone for a visually striking series. A suite of variant covers by industry legends such as Jim Lee, Frank Quitely, and Artgerm adds collector appeal.
Also new this month is Red Hood #1, written by horror author Gretchen Felker-Martin and illustrated by Jeff Spokes. Jason Todd leaves Gotham behind and relocates to New Angelique, drawn into a deadly mystery involving a serial killer. Helena Bertinelli, aka Huntress, joins the narrative, raising questions about trust, teamwork, and shared trauma. The series promises a darker, more psychological take on one of DC’s most controversial characters.
Meanwhile, Batman: Dark Patterns and Detective Comics #1101 continue exploring Gotham’s evolution. Dark Patterns nears its climax with an arsonist’s plot coming to light, while Detective Comics poses an existential question, what happens to a city when fear is removed entirely? Tom Taylor and Mikel Janín’s arc dives into this psychological thriller with broad DCU implications.

Mark Waid and Dan Mora anchor Justice League Unlimited #11, which addresses the erupting threat of the Quantum Quorum. Justice League Red #2 adds intrigue as Red Tornado manipulates his team for hidden goals.
In the Superman family, Superman #30 and Adventures of Superman: Book of El #1 expand continuity. Booster Gold returns with time-travel urgency, while Kal-El faces a divine enemy born of Future State lore. Superman Unlimited #5 presents geopolitical challenges involving Kryptonite and a new nation-state. These layered plots set up a narrative crescendo for the fall season.
Lighthearted but not lacking stakes, Supergirl #5 puts the spotlight on Streaky, Krypto, and new Super-Pets, as Kara takes a break from Midvale. Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton #4 continues its road story, pairing the heroic hound with a new canine companion while a space monster tracks them.
Harley Quinn enters road trip territory in Harley Quinn #54, with chaos, animals, and RV hijinks aplenty. Poison Ivy #36 sees Ivy consolidating power but suspecting betrayal from within her ranks. The Birds of Prey #25 issue features a digital dystopia called The Unreality, further expanding Gotham’s many threats.
September also revives several legacy issues in facsimile editions, including Batman #1, Batman #635, and New Fun Comics #1. These reprints preserve original content, including ads and backups, for fans seeking authentic archival experiences. The New History of the DC Universe #4 concludes with a modern summary of cosmic shifts, wrapping DC’s history in preparation for what’s ahead.
DC’s September 2025 lineup mixes bold relaunches, experimental art books, crossover sagas, and fan-service reprints.

Collectors and longtime fans alike will find something to dig into this fall.
