DC Comics débutera l’année 2023 par Lazarus Planet, un event qui sera la suite du final de la mini-série Batman vs Robin de Mark Waid. Un « volcan de Lazare » va exploser et cracher son contenu dans l’atmosphère avant de retomber sous forme de pluie. Le phénomène déclenchera un véritable chaos en contaminant la population, donnant aux gens d’étranges pouvoirs tout en modifiant les capacités de ceux qui en possèdent déjà.
Cette histoire sera racontée tout au long de sept one-shots. Quatre sont prévus pour janvier :
