DC Comics has revealed that its next issue of Detective Comics will see Superman's alter ego, Clark Kent, arrested and charged with murder, forcing Batman to investigate one of his closest allies. The storyline puts Bruce Wayne in an unusually painful position, as his commitment to following evidence wherever it leads clashes with his loyalty to a lifelong friend, raising the stakes of one of DC's most enduring partnerships.

Detective Comics #1115 is written by Tom Taylor with art by Mikel Janín, and depicts Clark Kent incarcerated and awaiting trial while Batman works to clear his name. According to DC's preview, the twist lies in the evidence itself: rather than proving Clark's innocence, what Bruce uncovers only makes his friend appear more guilty, setting up a tense mystery within the World's Finest partnership.
