Spoilers for Future State below! DC’s Future State event continues and the Future State: Batman/Superman series has officially kicked off with a new tale starring the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel. Unlike most of the other comics being published as part of the line, Batman/Superman takes place in the early part of this potential future timeline, roughly two years before the events of Dark Detective, meaning that Bruce Wayne is still Batman and Clark Kent is still on Earth as Superman. As such, their dynamic is mostly the same as it has been for years and the issue reveals the exact reason why Bruce doesn’t invite Clark on stealth missions.
