''Batman Eternal'' is a year-long weekly limited series published by DC Comics, that began in April 2014. The series featured Batman, his allies, and Gotham City, and was written by Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Ray Fawkes, Kyle Higgins and Tim Seeley. John Layman was originally scheduled to write for the series as well, before leaving the project in January 2014 and being replaced by Higgins; his final issue was issue 10. ''Batman Eternal'' ran through April 2015, after which it took a hiatus, before returning in October 2015 for a 26-issue weekly sequel series titled ''Batman and Robin Eternal''. ==Publication history== In October 2013, DC Comics announced the series would launch in early 2014, with Scott Snyder heading the story. Additional writers include James Tynion IV, John Layman, Ray Fawkes, and Tim Seeley, with art at the beginning handled by Jason Fabok. Snyder and Tynion co-wrote the first story arc, which lays the groundwork for the series. The story lines then move to a bigger story that includes Snyder's ''Batman'' title, once it finishes the "Zero Year" story line. The series is part of the 75th anniversary celebration of Batman.〔 In November 2013, Snyder released a teaser image by Fabok, titled "Happy Batsgiving", inspired by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris' ''The First Thanksgiving 1621''.〔 The image was intended to be "full of Easter eggs and teases" for the series.〔 In December 2013, Seeley stated that Snyder and Tynion created the overarching plot threads of the series to keep each writer progressing, but then further broke the whole story down to different genres for each writer to work in.〔 Fawkes also added that each writer takes turns being the "lead" on the issue, while the others continue to contribute their parts to the issue.〔 In January 2014, Snyder revealed that each writer is writing arcs to the series, opposed to each writer working together on a single issue. Snyder said, "it might be more difficult or tricky to do a series where each one of us is doing an arc that leads to the next arc, but we liked that idea. We liked that challenge." To aid in this, a large document containing the whole story was created to help map out where large moments needed to occur, and how to aid in connecting each writer's arcs.〔 It was also announced in January that the series would launch in April 2014, and that Layman had left the project.〔 Layman's final issue was issue 10,〔 though he still received "contributing writer" credit through issue 21. Later in the month, DC confirmed the addition of Kyle Higgins on the writing team, who wrote The New 52 series ''Nightwing'' up to its penultimate issue in March 2014.〔 The series starts with a three-issue arc that features a glimpse at the series' end, as well as establishing the incident that drastically reshapes Gotham. Then, issues 4–7 set up smaller plots branching out from the overarching story, before shifting into three-issue arcs by the various creative teams. On the arcs, Snyder said, "Each arc reflects the tastes and the real talent of each writer, and yet at the same time it will feel really seamless and singular — like one bombastic game-changing story that rolls forward through these different neighborhoods of writing in an interesting way."〔 Seeley called issue 20 the end of "season one" of ''Eternal''.〔 In July 2014, Snyder revealed the story arc after "Zero Year" in ''Batman'', "Endgame", would take place after the events of ''Eternal''. He revealed that issue 34 would act as a way to catch readers up to the events of ''Eternal'', without spoiling the conclusion, while also setting up the new story arc that will run from ''Batman'' #35-40.〔 Starting in October 2014, along with the "Endgame" storyline, most New 52 titles in the "Batman" family take place at the end of the ''Eternal'' storyline ending in April 2015.〔 At the end of October, Snyder confirmed the series would go on hiatus after April 2015,〔 and would return for a second year.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Batman Eternal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
