Juste avant le retour de Fables, Bill Willingham orchestrera la rencontre entre Batman et Bigby le grand méchant loup dans une mini-série dessinée par Brian Level (Secret Empire : Brave New World).
La publication de Batman vs Bigby ! : A wolf in Gotham débutera en septembre.
« I’ve wanted to do this since the very first year of Fables. Why? Because Batman is a detective, and Bigby is a detective, and I love a well-crafted story crossing over characters from two different fictional worlds. It’s automatically a fish-out-of-water story for at least one of the main characters, and that sort of story always works. Plus, I knew from the very beginning of Fables that my fictional universe would allow for many ways to get Bigby Wolf into the DCU and Gotham City. Even though those cosmic story structures wouldn’t be introduced in the Fables books for a year or more, they were baked in from the very beginning. »
