Gotham City's Next Chapter: A Look at the Bat Cowl Journey Ahead.
The DC Bat Cowl Collection launched in 2021 with the mission of giving fans incredible access to the DC universe: the ability to own and create their story in Gotham City.
Today, April 30, 2024 marks two years: a milestone in comic history, and a testament to the power of our community.
It started with an invitation from Batman to stand for justice. Our community has unlocked new experiences, event access; previously unmapped parts of Gotham City.
Our factions were tested in crew challenges. We forged alliances. We began to prototype crafting. We worked alongside DC artists and writers to contribute to the first comic on the blockchain, Batman: The Legacy Cowl. We unleashed a new Super-Villain, becoming the first DC community to do so.
It started with a two-year roadmap. And after two years, our story is only beginning.The future ahead is bright: filled with new adventures, big experiences, and major upgrades. As always, it belongs to you. We’re honored to continue this journey with you, GCDK.
