DC's Gotham by Daylight Horror Anthology Premieres on WEBTOON October 19
WEBTOON is set to launch a new horror anthology series titled Gotham by Daylight, which will debut on the digital platform on October 19. The series was officially revealed during New York Comic Con and introduces a supernatural threat known as The Daylight that traps Gotham City in constant daylight. Written by Mike Birchall, the story focuses on ordinary citizens rather than superheroes as they confront this mysterious danger.
This project marks the latest DC Universe title to arrive on WEBTOON, following previous announcements made at the same convention. The release comes shortly after fans were shown previews of Batman: Wayne Family Adventures returning for its fifth season. The anthology explores how residents survive and support each other under these extreme cosmic conditions.
