The canonical understanding of the Dark Knight is that Bruce Wayne hates guns. This spring, DC Comics is going to introduce a new, evil Batman who doesn’t have that problem. At all.

The Legion of Doom might be one of the most beloved DC villain teams around thanks to their place in Superfriends and other myriad tie-ins, but they have never really been a thing in the comics, beyond references here and there. But in the wake of the Justice League's recent shakeups, Lex Luthor is bringing the Legion to life.

This June, Justice League is relaunching, which means there's another roster change in store for DC Comics' foremost superhero team. The good news: If you loved the Justice League animated series, then the setup is rather familiar.

DC Comics' approach to handling its multiverse is distinct from most other comics publishers' approaches because of the way it includes a set of iconic stories that, technically-speaking, aren't considered canon. If you like that sort of thing, their new Black Label should excite you. And well, if you're a comic fan, you'll probably also be excited to hear names such as Kelly Sue DeConnick, Scott Snyder and Greg Rucka, just a fraction of the talent involved.
