The story will be drawn by Marcus To and Eber Ferriera.

In comic books, Lucius Fox's son Luke, the sometimes Batwing, is not to be confused with his brother Tim Fox, the Next Batman of DC Future State.

Batman: Urban Legends #4 goes on sale June 8. 

Johnson - who is also an Oscar-nominated director of the animated short film Grab My Hand: A Letter to My Dad - will be the second actor on a DCTV CW series to write a comic book story featuring the character they play in a June anthology title.

Supergirl's Nicole Maines, who plays trans woman superhero Nia Nal/Dreamer, will pen the DC comic book debut of Dreamer for DC Pride #1, an anthology special celebrating LGBTQIA+ characters.

The third story is a continuation of a Batman-Red Hood story by Chip Zdarsky and Eddy Barrows featuring a classic Batman villain.

"As old wounds threaten to Sabotage Batman and Red Hood's investigation into the Cheerdrop drug turning Gotham City upside down they run afoul of Gotham's coldest criminal Mr. Freeze! And the force behind the Cheerdrops will be banking on the former dynamic duo's demise…"

I'm not just the Newsarama founder and editor-in-chief, I'm also a reader. And that reference is just a little bit older than the beginning of my Newsarama journey. I founded what would become the comic book news site in 1996, and except for a brief sojourn at Marvel Comics as its marketing and communications manager in 2003, I've been writing about new comic book titles, creative changes, and occasionally offering my perspective on important industry events and developments for the 25 years since. Despite many changes to Newsarama, my passion for the medium of comic books and the characters makes the last quarter-century (it's crazy to see that in writing) time spent doing what I love most.
