Posted: 010218

Duke Thomas finally has a superhero name and is now called The Signal. The teenager will gets his own title this week with Batman and The Signal #1 shipping tomorrow. It will be written by DC Talent Workshop alum Tony Patrick and Scott Snyder with art by Red’s Cully Hamner. Unlike his mentor Duke will work in the light and not the shadows. According to Patrick the title will see Duke try to find his place in the Bat Family but deal with the fact that even though his parents are alive he cannot communicate with them. Patrick was one of the eight winners of DC’s new talent search that had twelve hundred applicants. Hamner was brought in to give the title a signature look with a costume best suited for the daytime and a different look to Gotham.
