NYCC 10 - DC Releases Covers to Five Batman Titles

Here we go Batman fans.  Five Batman titles will be on sale from DC Comics in November. At the start of what the publisher promises to be a very Bat-heavy weekend at New York Comic Con, DC's The Source blog released a series of five new house ads spotlighting the new Gotham lineup of books from creators including Grant Morrison, J.H. Williams III, Tony Daniel, Scott Snyder, Jock, Yanick Paquette, David FInch and Amy Reeder. Check them out after the jump.

In addition to these five titles, DC presently publishes "Batman & Robin," "Batman: Streets of Gotham," "Gotham City Sirens," "Red Robin" and "Batgirl," among other books featuring the Dark Knight or other Gotham-based characters.

How ‘bout This Tony Daniel Batman Cover?

This Batman Cover by Tony Daniel is just amazing.  DC's The Source caught up with Daniel to get the scoop on what he will be doing with Dark Knight starting this November.  Tony tells us:

“I’m excited to be back writing (and drawing) again. I’ll be hitting the ground running this next story arc. There are a few mysteries I want to keep secret, but I can say that I-Ching guest stars during my first arc back and Batman will need the blind mystic’s help to overcome the ancient evil that’s now taking root into Gotham’s Chinatown. Lots of swords, poison arrows, mysteries, puzzles, codes, a secret order, judo chops, punches, uppercuts, roundhouse kicks, horses, parades and fireworks, and well, it goes on.”

Did I mention how much I love this cover to BATMAN #705? 

Tony Daniel Takes over BATMAN Title

Tony Daniel will permanently take over as writer and artist on the regular BATMAN series.   I have mixed emotions because Grant Morrison frustrated me immensely at times, but am indifferent to Tony's run thus far.  I'm willing to stick with it and see what comes about this Fall and Winter.  I am hoping for good things for the Bat family.

Quote from Tony for the The Source blog:

“I am thrilled and honored to be tapped for further writing duties on the world’s most iconic super hero, Batman. I look forward to telling exciting tales with the caped crusader and exploring old and new characters alike. I will continue to put my best foot forward on each and every page.”

Preview: BATMAN #701 'R.I.P.The Missing Chapter'

Thank God and issue of BATMAN with the real Batman.  Maybe we will actually get an issue of ACTION COMICS that contains Superman himself.

I am excited to read these next few issues of the Grant Morrison's BATMAN to find-out what happened to Bruce Wayne prior to getting hit with Darkseid's Omega Sanction in FINAL CRISIS #6.  I know the percentage if being extremely disappointed is very high, but I have faith.

The good news is Major Spoilers got a sneak peak of BATMAN #701.  Enjoy the preview.

First Look: Teaser Page to Batman #700

Hot Damn Gfest loves Batman (the real Batman, Bruce Wayne) and this month DC’s ongoing Batman title hits a major and rare milestone: 700 issues.

According to the Source, all this week, they'll be taking readers into the pages of the amazing BATMAN #700, featuring a story by innovative and kinetic writer Grant Morrison and an all-star cast of artists that include Frank Quitely, David Finch, Andy Kubert, Tony Daniel and more.

The story, which touches on every aspect and era of Batman is the perfect centerpiece for an issue that celebrates the past, present and future adventures of the Dark Knight.
