DC Comics is gearing up for a major event, Batman: Bad Seeds, which promises to be a thrilling and chaotic adventure. The anticipation is palpable, and the excitement is building as fans eagerly await the 10-week Gotham event. But what makes this event truly intriguing is the question of its duration. Will it be 617 days, or will it extend into 618 days? The answer lies in the timing of the Batman: Bad Seeds Experience, a three-hour YouTube stream on June 17, 2026, from 2 PM to 5 PM PT. For UK fans, this means a late-night watch, starting at 10 PM and ending at 1 AM. The event's timing raises the question of whether it will indeed span 618 days, as the stream concludes at that point. The anticipation is palpable, and the excitement is building as fans eagerly await the start of this epic adventure. The event will feature announcements from all over Gotham, with new art and title reveals every few minutes, as well as special messages from talent. Prize giveaways, including signed comics, variant covers, and an original drawing by a legendary Batman artist, will also be part of the experience. The event will launch in August 2026, with Batman facing off against Poison Ivy, Vandal Savage, and a mutated Gotham. The story will be told across ten weeks, with Gotham Mayor Poison Ivy, Police Commissioner Vandal Savage, Barbara Gordon in chokey, and the Batfamily on the run. The event will be written by Matt Fraction and G. Willow Wilson, with art and cover by Giuseppe Camuncoli, Cliff Rathburn, and Tomeu Morey. The prelude will be featured in Poison Ivy #47, written by G. Willow Wilson with art by Leandro Fernandez. The story will reveal that Gotham City is done with Mayor Pamela Isley, but she's not done with them. The event will unfold as Gotham's heroes, villains, and civilians fight to survive, with the Bat-Family hunted, the GCPD fractured under Commissioner Vandal Savage's militarised rule, and civilians trapped in a city turning against them. The event will continue across September and October in the pages of Batman, Poison Ivy, Detective Comics, Batgirl, Batwoman, Catwoman, Nightwing, and Harley Quinn, alongside several new event titles. The full scope of Batman: Bad Seeds will be unveiled in the coming months, and fans are eagerly awaiting the start of this epic adventure. The question of the event's duration remains, but the excitement and anticipation are palpable as fans eagerly await the start of this thrilling and chaotic adventure.
