Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, and more launch bold new arcs this March as DC’s ongoing, mainline comic book series all evolve alongside DC’s Next Level launches and the Absolute universe.
“From the launch of the DC ALL IN SPECIAL, to the introduction of an Absolute Universe, and into the DC K.O. event that we’re right in the middle of now, we’re determined to build on all of the fan enthusiasm, and the retail support and story momentum, by continuing to take big swings in 2026,” said Scott Snyder in the DC: Next Level announcement.
That momentum continues this March as DC All In begins its second act. With DC K.O. concluding on March 4, DC’s flagship titles enter bold new storylines that redefine the heroes that comic book fans know best. Together with the launch of DC: Next Level #1s and the ongoing Absolute line of comics, these ongoing series form the backbone of the DC Universe’s next All In chapter.
Wonder Woman Begins the “Wonder War”
A defining new chapter in DC’s March lineup begins in Wonder Woman #31, written by Eisner Award–winner Tom King (Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow) with art by Daniel Sampere (Wonder Woman, Dark Crisis). Together, this acclaimed duo launches “Wonder War,” the most ambitious Wonder Woman story in years.
Set twenty years in the future, “Wonder War” is a fight against the darkest timeline imaginable: the Justice League is dead, the villains of the DC Universe (even Lex Luthor!) have bent the knee, and the Matriarch, first introduced in the sold‑out Wonder Woman #25, has risen to power as the Queen of America. Against this backdrop, Diana and her grown-up daughter Trinity must unite to resist a foe whose insurmountable strength threatens to conquer the entire world.
The story is both a family saga and a war epic, pitting Wonder Woman’s ideals of compassion and justice against authoritarian conquest. With Trinity’s role at the forefront, “Wonder War” is not only Diana’s battle, but a generational fight for the very soul of the DC Universe.
Batman’s Rogues, and Friends, Converge in Gotham City
In Gotham City, Eisner Award–winning writer Matt Fraction and superstar artist Jorge Jiménez begin their second major story arc on the series, reintroducing The Joker in Batman#7 in a way fans have never seen before. This oversized issue features a breathtaking interior gatefold sequence that plunges readers directly into the Clown Prince’s fractured psyche, redefining his relationship with the Caped Crusader for DC’s mainline comics.
But The Joker is only part of the threat. Commissioner Vandal Savage’s increasingly hostile GCPD and Gotham’s new mayor, Pamela Isley (*see below), escalate their war on the Bat‑Family, tightening their grip on the city and forcing Batman into impossible choices. As the pressure mounts, the story builds toward a devastating police assault that will forever alter the status quo for one of Batman’s closest allies. With Fraction’s sharp storytelling and Jiménez’s dynamic visuals, Batman #7 stands as one of the boldest flagship titles of DC All In’s second act, a story that promises to shake Gotham to its core.
Batman isn’t the only Gotham City series beginning a new chapter in March. Detective Comics #1107, written by Tom Taylor with art by Pete Woods, brings Batman together with Black Canary and Gotham’s newest resident, Green Arrow, to unravel a conspiracy tied to their shared past. Meanwhile, Nightwing #136 begins a supernatural noir tale as legendary artist Denys Cowan joins Dan Watters to explore Blüdhaven’s urban legends, beginning with a haunted super‑highway.
Selina Kyle returns home in Catwoman #85 from writer Torunn Grønbekk and artist Davide Gianfelice, Cassandra Cain inherits cursed powers in Batgirl #17 from Tate Brombal and Takeshi Miyazawa, Harley Quinn splits into two personas in Harley Quinn #60 from Elliott Kalan and Carlos Oliveras, and, as referenced in Batman #7, Pamela Isley ascends as Gotham City’s new mayor in Poison Ivy #42 fromG. Willow Wilson and Marcio Takara!
Reign of the Superboys
In March, DC K.O. leaves the DC Universe in need of a new SUPERMAN, kicking off a “Reign of the Superboys” saga across DC’s four ongoing Superman-related titles! The adventure begins on March 11 with Action Comics #1096 by Mark Waid and Skylar Patridge, where young Superboy Clark Kent from the past collides with today’s Justice League Unlimited. This clash across time bridges Superman’s earliest days with the present, while Martian Manhunter, Mary Marvel, and more, search for the missing Man of Tomorrow in the past. Also on March 11, Supergirl #11 by Sophie Campbell thrusts Kara into the bottled city of Kandor, where she loses her powers and gains a cybernetic upgrade to lead a revolution alongside Conner Kent (Superboy) and a legion of Boy Thunder clones. What do these clones mean for the future of the House of El? Only time will tell! Together, these opening chapters ignite a sweeping storyline that spans the Superman family and propels DC’s new Superboy saga forward across March and beyond.
The following week, on March 18, Superman Unlimited #11 from Dan Slott and Lucas Meyer expands the arc with Jon Kent facing a terrifying time‑bending foe and the debut of Tomorrow Man, a brand‑new character whose arrival shakes the timeline itself. Finally, the opening month of DC’s new Superboy saga culminates on March 25 with Superman #36 by Joshua Williamson and Dan Mora, as Superboy Prime steps into the spotlight of the ongoing series. Normally reserved for massive crossover events, Prime now claims the mantle of Superman in a bold, action‑packed story that redefines the legacy of Metropolis. With each series spotlighting fan-favorite characters, “Reign of the Superboys” invites fans to follow the saga across all four titles, or dive into the one that spotlights their favorite hero, as the Superman family enters the second act of DC All In
DC’s Cosmic Comics, and Beyond
Beyond Gotham and Metropolis, DC’s cosmic heroes also enter bold new eras in March 2026. Green Lantern#600 celebrates a milestone anniversary with stories from Jeremy Adams, Ron Marz, Xermanico, Darryl Banks, and more, as Hal Jordan is tested and Kyle Rayner returns to Earth. In Green Lantern Corps#14, Morgan Hampton and Fernando Pasarin make Guy Gardner the Allsight, assembling a team to track vanished Emotional Entities. DC’s Aquaman series is officially retitled Emperor Aquaman beginning with issue #15, as Jeremy Adams and John Timms launch Arthur on a conquest across the stars, wielding Omega Energy against the Crimson Queen.
The Flash #31 introduces a new creative team of writer Ryan North and artist Gavin Guidry as Wally West faces sinister forces exploiting his heroism. Justice League Unlimited #17 from Mark Waid and Clayton Henry picks up directly where DC K.O. #5 leaves off (no spoilers here!) and points to a big status quo shift for the villains of the DCU. Who will join Wonder Woman and Batman to lead the new JLU? And, coming back to Earth after the events of DC K.O., DC’s Titans series becomes New Titans #33 in March, with Tate Brombal and Sami Basri teeing up the next chapter for the next generation of DC Super Heroes with a roster of characters old and new.
With bold creative teams, shocking new arcs, and milestone issues, DC’s flagship comic book titles prove that the second act of DC All In is not just about new launches, it’s about raising the stakes in the books fans already love. This March, the DC Universe expands across three core pillars:DC: Next Level with new #1s like Batwoman, Lobo, and Deathstroke: The Terminator; the Absolute line of comics, a universe of its own running alongside DC’s flagship titles; and the flagship titles of Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Detective Comics, Action Comics, and more, evolving into their boldest chapters yet. Together, they form the totality of the second act of DC ALL IN…and the future of DC Comics.
