SDCC: Joss Whedon announces Twist, a new comic book series about a “Victorian female Batman”

July 13, 2015 by Gary Collinson

During his Hall H panel at the San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, Joss Whedon announced that he’s teaming with Dark Horse comics to create a new six-issue series entitled Twist.

Speaking about the upcoming project, Whedon revealed that, “[Twist] deals with the most important moral question facing us, which is: why isn’t there a Victorian female Batman? It’s a Victorian thriller about a meek chambermaid who is fed to a dark horror — but instead of dying, she returns, with knowledge, power, and rage she can neither deny nor control.”

No further details were revealed, except that we can expect the series some time next year.
