Official solicitation
According to DC Comics’ May 2025 solicitations, the Justice League finds itself out of commission following a clash with Darkseid, leaving Earth vulnerable to a wave of supervillain threats. With the League missing, it’s up to Sonic and his team to pick up the slack. Not only will they assume the Justice League’s heroic responsibilities, but they’ll also don iconic costumes inspired by DC’s legendary heroes. The crossover promises to bridge two vastly different worlds with high-speed action, intense battles, and unforgettable moments.
The character redesigns were first revealed during the Sonic Central livestream on YouTube, giving fans a sneak peek at the inspired pairings. Unsurprisingly, Sonic takes on the role of the Flash—a fitting match considering their shared title as the fastest heroes in their respective universes. Shadow steps into Batman’s mantle, aligning with his brooding demeanor and tactical prowess, while Silver wields Green Lantern’s power ring, complementing his telekinetic abilities. Each pairing has been thoughtfully matched, highlighting the parallels between the Sonic cast and DC’s iconic heroes.
With the Justice League sidelined, Sonic and his friends face the monumental task of defending the DC Universe from some of its most formidable villains. The crossover is set to deliver thrilling high-speed confrontations and imaginative battles as these two worlds collide. With a talented creative team behind the project and excitement building among both fandoms, DC x Sonic the Hedgehog is shaping up to be a must-read event.
DC x Sonic the Hedgehog #3 will be available on May 21, 2025. Stay tuned to Sonic City for more News and Updates as Sonic and his friends take on their biggest crossover yet!
