BATMAN ANNUAL #1 Introduces Mr. Freeze to the 'New 52'

Is Batman going to take a chill pill when he faces Mr. Freeze.

Earlier today we mentioned the upcoming TEEN TITANS ANNUAL due in May. Now they're ready to start announcing more. Also coming in May, we'll see BATMAN ANNUAL #1 by Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV and Jay Fabok.

Because you can't really have a party without getting some ice, they're bringing along Mr. Freeze in his "New 52" debut. What does he have to do with the Court of Owls?

Scott Snyder said the following:

Mr. Freeze is a character full of pathos and tragedy and at the end of the day, he’s one of Batman’s deadliest. 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 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!

Don't be left out in the cold when this issue goes on sale in May. BATMAN ANNUAL #1 will expand on the story of the "Night of the Owls."
