Tom King and Clay Mann’s Batman/Catwoman kicked off its complex thread of mysteries earlier this month. In the present, the Bat and the Cat set out to search for Andrea Beaumont’s missing son, while an older Selina Kyle pays a friend a visit in the future, with the first issue concluding with the return of killer vigilante the Phantasm.

As revealed by King and Mann on Twitter, Helena Wayne, the daughter first teased in King and Lee Weeks’ amazing Batman Annual #2 (2017), will don the cape and cowl in the maxi-series.
The cover for Batman/Catwoman #4 features Helena in a full Batsuit,...

To put the deal into context, Hivemind is the production company behind Netflix's The Witcher, which looks very cool, and has Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark currently in the works at CBS Films. Hivemind is also currently producing The Expanse for Amazon.
Which comics will EC Comics and Hivemind team up for first? According to Deadline, the partnership will focus on Weird Fantasy and a biopic of EC Comics publisher William M. Gaines...

The new partnership will roll out with two projects: Weird Fantasy, a television series based on the classic EC anthology series, and a biopic of EC publisher William M. Gaines, who was a firebrand figure in comics history and an infamous name to cultural crusaders of the the 1950s who targeted EC as purveyor of prurient material that directly led to juvenile delinquency. The 1950s moral panic led to an Congressional investigation that nearly doomed the entire comics industry.
