DC Comics November 2025 comic book solicitations are here! November shows that the company is all in on the DC K.O. event. That is being shown whether it’s directly through the event itself or tie ins to the what is being planned around Darkseid’s character. What else does DC Comics have planned to keep an eye out in November? Find out with our breakdown of the ten biggest takeaways from DC Comics November 2025 solicitations.
10) FINAL STATE OF THE NEW GODS
November will mark the end of Ram V’s New Gods series. Given the time of this ending, The New Gods #12 has the potential to do a lot more than just simply firmly establish the characters permanent status quo. The New Gods are way to important for their twelve issue series to be about that. This final issue should also hint at what role they will play in the Darkseid story.
This is even more important given that The New Gods #12 is releasing while the DC K.O. event is going on. Even if it does not directly play into the new DC Comics event it should at least tease what will be next in the DCU. If it doesn’t than it’ll be a major missed opportunity to help the New Gods be elevated at a time Darkseid’s importance continues to grow.
9) BATMAN, GREEN ARROW, & THE QUESTION TEAM-UP FOR NEW MINI-SERIES
DC Comics is expanding its DC Black Label offering with yet another Batman mini-series. This time around Batman will be joined by Green Arrow and The Question for a story “with a hardboiled modern twist on the DC social thrillers of the 1980s.” That all comes in the form of Batman/Green Arrow/The Question: Arcadia.
This latest DC Black Label mini-series show how this publishing branding has basically become another line for Batman comics. While we’ve had some non-Batman related DC Black Label comics they are few and far in-between. It does feel like maybe this was going to be a Green Arrow/Question series but needed Batman thrown in because all DC Black Label comics need the Dark Knight in some way.
To his credit, Gabriel Hardman certainly delivers an eye catching cover for the latest DC Black Label. The designs for Batman, Green Arrow, and The Question hit on how Hardman is looking to go for a more 1980s vibe for a story that is set in a present future. If the comic itself can have the same vibe as the covers than Batman/Green Arrow/The Question: Arcadia could become a fan favorite.
8) WILL TOM KING USE TRINITY TO BRING STEVE TREVOR BACK?
Death is never a permanent thing in the world of comic books. With each passing year we see more instances of how death is not permanent. That is being given yet another example of being true with Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman #6 teasing Steve Trevor’s death being undone.
Whether it will happen or not the tease of Steve Trevor avoiding his death thanks to his daughter’s time travel shenanigans is something to take seriously. That is because Tom King is the writer of Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman. So if anyone is to bring back Steve Trevor it would current Wonder Woman writer Tom King.
King actually going through with Trinity saving her father would be a massive change. It would impact so much of his current Wonder Woman, including the origins of Trinity’s birth. With King still in the middle of the Mouse Man story arc in Wonder Woman it is less likely he’ll bring back Steve so quickly. But whatever happens in Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman #6 could hint at how King will alter things so the future vision of Wonder Woman and the Amazon’s defeat does not happen.
7) BATMAN FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS, NEW & OLD, TESTED
In the post-Batman: H2SH world we are seeing a running theme in the Batman Family titles. That theme is testing the current and future relationships of the Batman Family. Whether it’s the different dynamics shared within the family or the cities they are currently protecting the relationship angle is heavily being pushed.
The “solo” titles in particular lean on the family dynamic in different ways. In Batman #3 we will possibly see Bruce put in effort to repair relationships broken during H2SH. Meanwhile Batgirl and Catwoman are busy dealing with direct blood family related drama. That’s on top of Nightwing, Red Hood, and Huntress battling the cities they are protecting turning against them.
6) ABSOLUTE UNIVERSE LANDSCAPE CHANGING
To say things have been difficult for the heroes of the Absolute Universe it would be an understatement. Each hero has been put through the deadly wringer, including Absolute Batman being decimated and rebuilt into a Bane-like Dark Knight. DC Comics November 2025 solicitations show that November will be a big transition point for the Absolute Universe.
This transition comes in many forms. For Absolute Batman it will mark the conclusion of the Bane story arc that has changed much about the Dark Knight. Then there is Absolute Superman will be kicking of the Battle of Smallville, Kansas against Brainiac and Ra’s Al Ghul. And if that wasn’t enough both Absolute Flash and Green Lantern will be finding and revealing major things in their comic books.
All of this comes at a time where Darkseid is getting even more attention with DC K.O. How the stories that close out the Absolute Universe’s 2025 could hint at a lot of how 2026 will go for DC Comics as a whole.
5) WHAT WILL IT MEAN TO BECOME KING OMEGA IN DC K.O. ENDGAME?
The DC K.O. event once again dominated DC Comics November 2025 solicitations. The covers for DC K.O. #2 gives us a hint at the unique match-ups we can expect from the event. That includes Wonder Woman vs Joker and Plastic Man vs Lobo.
The match-ups will certainly help sell DC K.O. as a big event. The bigger impact will be what how Scott Snyder continues to emphasize the importance of becoming the DC Universe’s King Omega. Whoever claims the title will be set up to play a bigger part in the greater Darkseid story that Snyder, Joshua Williamson, and others have been building towards.
DC K.O. #2’s solicitation putting an emphasis on Superman doubting that the Justice League is doing the right thing competing in this fighting tournament is an interesting wrinkle. Going into the tournament, if Superman is competing, the Man of Steel should be the favorite. But if Superman is the one raising the red flags about the validity of the tournament it could be even greater set-up for the Man of Steel in 2026.
4) TRUTH ABOUT AQUAMAN’S CONNECTION TO DARKSEID
Aquaman has seen his importance in the DC Universe elevated with Jeremy Adams and John Timms new run. That is thanks to directly feeling the impact of how Darkseid is reshaping the multiverse hitting Atlantis. That has led Aquaman on a wild adventure through another universe to find out what happened to Atlantis and his people.
Now the solicitation for Aquaman #11 is teasing revealing the truth about Darkseid’s connection to the Dark Tide. If Aquaman #11 holds true to this promise it could be one of the more important comic books in the DC All In era for the company.
The revelation could play an even bigger role in what DC Comics greater plans are involving Darkseid. Placing this type of importance the issue would also show why Aquaman is one of the key comics to read for fans of DC All In.
3) BATMAN BEYOND & STATIC REUNITE FOR NEW CROSSOVER
One of my favorite episodes of Static Shock was its fourth season premiere “Future Shock.” That episode saw Static traveling 40 years into the future to team up with Batman Beyond and saving his future self. Now finally, over 20 years later, DC Comics is tapping into the magic of that crossover episode with Batman/Static: Beyond.
I was honestly sold by this comic book based on seeing the cover alone. I love this design of future Static. Adding in the future aesthetic of Batman Beyond adds to the coolness factor of it.
This is also the best way to utilize the Batman Beyond concept. DC Comics has tried way to hard to make Batman Beyond part of the main DC Universe. Hopefully this one-shot will show DC that Batman Beyond’s world is best being its own thing rather than being forced to be shown how it’s a future version of the current DC Universe.
2) OA BECOMES NEW CENTER OF DC UNIVERSE
The Starbreaker Supremacy has already shown that it is a massive game changing story for the Green Lantern franchise. It is the story paying off all the build up around the Fractured Spectrum direction. The impact the Starbreaker Supremacy will already be shown to make some big changes with Hal Jordan’s importance elevated even more in the Book of Oa in October’s Green Lantern #29.
Now the full impact of Starbreaker Supremacy looks to shown in November’s Green Lantern Corps #10. In what is a massive spoiler, we learn that Green Lantern Corps #10 will show us how Oa has become the center of the Emotional Spectrum. That has left Oa to be split up into various territories for each Lantern Corp.
If that is not enough Kilowog is starting a new Corps Academy. Since it is not stated that it is a Green Lantern Corps Academy, Kilowog may be doing his part to help the relations between the Lantern Corps through his new academy. That is all on top major returns being teased for Green Lantern Corps #10.
1) BATMAN/DEADPOOL EXPANDS DC COMICS X MARVEL CONNECTION
DC Comics took what Marvel did with their announcement for Deadpool/Batman and one-upped them in a big way. How did they do this? By announcing the biggest names they could as the creative team for DC/Marvel: Batman/Deadpool. The list of creators include Grant Morrison, Scott Snyder, Dan Mora, James Tynion, Joshua Williamson, Amanda Conner, Tom, Taylor, and Bruno Redondo, to just name a few.
The creative team alone is enough to be excited about the DC Comics version of the Batman/Deadpool crossover. The one-shot is already promising a other stories featuring other crossovers including between Constatine and Doctor Strange, Nightwing and Wolverine (Laura Kinney), Harley Quinn and Hulk, and Static and Ms. Marvel.
Announcing all this does make it appear that DC’s version of Batman/Deadpool will be the one to come out on top of these two one-shots. Now let’s see how Marvel responds with more details on content for Deadpool/Batman.
