The Identity of the Future State Batman has been revealed as per an article from Games Radar, and it wasn’t who a lot of people expected.
The hands on favorite was of course Luke Fox, however, turns out it is Tim Fox, his brother, who first appears in Batman #313
From Games Radar:
After months of intrigue and subterfuge, the identity of DC’s Next Batman has been revealed as Tim Fox, the estranged son of longtime Batman ally Lucius Fox and brother of the former Batwing Luke Fox.
Tim Fox’s literal unmasking was performed in DC’s release of a variant cover to January 19’s Future State: The Next Batman #2 by Doug Braithwaite and Diego Rodriguez.
Originally introduced in 1979’s Batman #313 by Len Wein and Irv Novick (collected in Tales of the Batman: Len Wein), Tim ‘Jace’ Fox’s modern-day appearances have been sparse. He briefly appeared in the recent Batman #101 after a nine-year gap, re-emerging as the Fox family is coming back together after his father, Lucius Fox, was given the Wayne family fortune and (companies) following ‘The Joker War’ arc.
Of course Batman 313 is the missing issue in my run. I’m sure I’ll find one in the wild, but now all the ebayers will jack up the price. Time is on my side.
