DC Rebirth: Batman & The Flash Push "The Button" in April Crossover

Nearly one year after DC Universe: Rebirth #1 hinted at the Watchmen‘s introduction to the DCU, April 2017 will see the start of The Button, a four-part story arc hitting the pages of Batman and The Flash. Tom King and Joshua Williamson, who write both titles respectively, will be joined on art by Jason Fabok and Howard Porter. As with other DC Rebirth titles, each issue is priced at $2.99, but special editions of all four issues (with lenticular covers by Fabok) will cost a dollar more.

Keen readers are likely to recognize the iconic button held by Batman and Flash on both covers, which last showed up in the aforementioned DC Universe: Rebirth one-shot. While it’s still unclear why DC’s been teasing the looming presence of the Watchmen in their mainline titles, one could surmise that it’ll end up being a huge deal sooner rather than later.

Batman #21 and The Flash #22 are solicited for April 19. Check out the original press release & the first lenticular covers below!
