Gabriel Hardman On Batman The Question and Green Arrow

In this interview, comic-book veteran Gabriel Hardman takes us behind the scenes of his bold, new four-issue miniseries Batman/Green Arrow/The Question: Arcadia — out now under DC Comics’ Black Label. We break down why Bruce Wayne, Green Arrow, and The Question are teaming up now; what “Arcadia” represents; and how Hardman’s decades-long dream project finally came together. What You’ll Learn

• How a teenage Hardman first pictured this trio working together — and why he waited until now to tell their story. 
• The dystopian, climate-aware premise: “Arcadia,” a floating, climate-hardened city off Greenland’s coast — and the darker truths lurking beneath its utopian veneer. 
• What sets this series apart: a hard-boiled, character-driven thriller that updates the spirit of ‘80s–‘90s vigilante stories for modern times.
• Key themes: power, corruption, moral gray zones, and what justice really means when institutions — and heroes — are compromised.
