Batman Annual #1 has been announced by DC Comics.
The oversized one-shot, co-written by Scott Snyder and newcomer James Tynion IV, will introduce the villainous Mr Freeze to the publisher's 'New 52' universe.
Batman: The Dark Knight's former penciller Jay Fabok will supply artwork for the book, which will tie in the upcoming 'Night of the Owls' crossover event.
"Mr Freeze is a character full of pathos and tragedy and at the end of the day, he's one of Batman's deadliest," said Snyder. "So as you can imagine, I'm very excited to be able to do a story that establishes him in the new DCU, with rising stars James Tynion IV and Jay Fabok.
"This will be a tale that really digs into Freeze's psyche, explaining his connection to the Court of Owls in the present, and exploring dark secrets about his past. Really thrilled to see what you guys think."
DC unveiled Animal Man and Teen Titans annuals earlier today. The publisher is expected to announce other giant-sized issues in the near future.
