An off-the-cuff comment by DC Comics co-publisher Jim Lee has led to the publisher confirming that the first arc of Superman Unchained will be nine issues, and that the title’s future beyond that point is not clear.When asked about the status of Batman: Europa, a project first announced in 2004, the Los Angeles Times added another reference to the title as a nine-issue series.”That’s a project I began a while back when I was living in Italy for a year,” Lee said. “It’s still on deck. I’ve gotten sidetracked with other projects. I’m working currently on [the nine-issue series] Superman Unchained with a writer named Scott Snyder.”
