The new series is being written by longtime Marvel writer Greg Pak and illustrated by Jae Lee, according to The Associated Press.
With both super heroes packing some serious history full of complicated story lines and character developments, it has been reported that DC Comics has given Pak a wide aisle to be inventive in whichever way he sees fit to release a smash hit new comic series.
Pak has admitted that he and Lee had been given lots of slack to to some "important storytelling."
In response Pak has said that he wants to explore how the characters would react to one another during an intriguing first meeting, and what they would say and think of one another.
Interestingly Pak has also implied that there would be an "element of danger" about what he brings out in the new series, and he believes this will make it extremely exciting and enjoyable for readers.
Pak said, "What would your reaction be if you saw a guy running around in a bat costume in the dead of night attacking people for the first time? And what would your reaction be if you met an alien who could crush steel in his bare hands for the first time."
He added, "These guys are going to have very different immediate impressions of each other than we're used to seeing with these characters."
Also talking about working with heralded artists Jae Lee, Pak said, "That makes total sense. [But] he's doing some cool new stuff and when you put these two characters together, they've got different palettes and environments."
Here is a video trailer for "Superman: Unbound" by DC Comics:
