Batman and Kamen Rider Zero-One announced in crossover project

DC Comics and Toei Company have announced a major collaboration project titled ‘Batman x Kamen Rider ZERO-ONE LEGENDS UNITE’. The partnership brings together the iconic American hero Batman and the Japanese hero Kamen Rider Zero-One to celebrate Batman Day and the 55th anniversary of the Kamen Rider franchise.

The collaboration will feature the production of an original comic book and a line of merchandise from Bandai. The project highlights a thematic connection between the two protagonists: Bruce Wayne, the CEO of Wayne Enterprises, and Aruto Hiden, the president of the AI company Hiden Intelligence.

Representatives from DC and Toei noted that the project took several years of planning to realize. The announcement included first-look artwork depicting Batman alongside Kamen Rider Zero-One.
