Scheduled for release on April 23, 2025, the latest issue, Green Lantern #22, crafted by Jeremy Adams and Xermánico, promises high-octane action as it delves into the ongoing clash between Hal Jordan and Hector Hammond.

Amongst the array of superhero vehicles, the Batmobile—dubbed the “Earth Mover”—is undeniably one of the most striking. Its impressive size and distinctive design leave a lasting impression. In terms of scale, it rivals Hal’s monster truck, even if the Batmobile resembles more of a tank on wheels than a traditional monster truck. The prospect of a crossover between the Absolute Universe and Earth-Prime is tantalizing, particularly if it involves a thrilling race between Batman and Green Lantern in their extraordinary vehicles.
