Earlier today, as part of DC’s solicitations material for April 2021 titles, the publisher announced an upcoming crossover between the heroes of the Justice League and Team RWBY, to be written by Marguerite Bennett and illustrated by Aneke. Now DC has released additional details on RWBY/Justice League, including that artists Stephanie Pepper and Emanuela Lupacchino will also be working on the seven-issue digital-first series. Along with those details, DC has also revealed Aneke’s designs for the seven Justice League members featured in the story.
Here’s how DC describes the series:
RWBY/Justice League introduces fans of manga and superheroes to the Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent and Diana Prince of Remnant, fighting with Team RWBY. A new Grimm is running rampant across the island of Patch, and Ruby and Yang must team up with a young red and blue-clad farm boy to stop it! Meanwhile, Blake meets a mysterious woman who’s suddenly appeared on Menagerie, but her purpose for being there remains a secret. And why does she act like she hasn’t been around modern society?
DC has published multiple RWBY comics since 2019, but this miniseries will be the first time the characters interact with heroes from the DC Universe. Check out Mirka Andolfo‘s character designs for the Justice League, as well as Andolfo’s cover for the first issue and more info from DC on the series, below. RWBY/Justice League #1 arrives digitally on Tuesday, March 9th, with a print release date of April 27th.
Following the fun and excitement of comic book limited series like gen:LOCK and the first RWBY, Rooster Teeth and DC are joining forces once again, this time to combine the worlds of their popular anime/manga series with the World’s Greatest Super Heroes in RWBY/Justice League, a weekly Digital First series debuting on participating digital platforms such as Comixology, Amazon Kindle and Apple on Tuesday, March 9, with new chapters released every week. RWBY/Justice League will also be released in print as a monthly seven-issue series, launching Tuesday, April 27. Each print issue will contain two digital chapters.
Written by Marguerite Bennett (Future State: Kara Zor-El, Superwoman, RWBY, DC Comics Bombshells) and featuring art by Aneke (Future State: Batgirls), Stephanie Pepper (The Mummy) and Emanuela Lupacchino (Future State: Gotham City Sirens, Birds of Prey), this seven-issue monthly miniseries brings Team RWBY face to face with DC’s paragons of justice.

I don’t think too many manga fans are into RWBY, they tend to prefer real anime. I also don’t think too many superhero fans will be into those OCs, they tend to prefer the real Justice League.
Bet ya $20 this series won’t make it to its final issue
I like RWBY and DC but they don’t mix at all. Also why does superman have Kevlar vest, the man’s eye is bulletproof.
