Batman Inc To Return In 2012

So, what do we all think of the (new) world of Batman?

Doesn't seem like anything crazy has changed...just moving forward as it normally would.

One book that is missing from the Batman line is Grant Morrison's Batman Inc.

Well fans should not fret. Today (via DC's Blog) the writer had this to say,

“Batman, Incorporated will continue through to Issue #10 and August’s shocking season finale that changes the Batman status quo yet again. The series will take a brief hiatus while I work on a major new project to be announced shortly. Batman, Incorporated returns next year with me, Chris Burnham and Batman: Leviathan, the epic 12 part conclusion to my 6 year Batman saga. Don’t miss it!” -Grant Morrison

I really really hope the other major project Grant Morrison is working on is a \S/uper one.

DC Comics Announces (some) Of Their New Titles

Today via thir blog DC is showing off their new books and creative teams.

Check them out here.

Oliver Queen is an orphan who grew up to fight crime as the Green Arrow, a billionaire playboy who uses his fortune to become a superhero – able to fight the most powerful super-villains in the universe with nothing but a bow and arrow. JT Krul will write GREEN ARROW #1 with art by superstar artist Dan Jurgens. The cover to issue #1 is by Brett Booth.

Jim Lee: Mr. Re-Design

With the announcement that Jim Lee will be re-designing about 50 or so of our favorite DC Comics superheroes, I thought we would look at some of his past work in that area.

Not all of these are the best examples but we can clearly see he's got an eye for design.

Jim Lee drew Superman in The Man of Steel's own title for the 12 part 'For Tomorrow' storyline. There isn't much of a change, other than the boldness of the red in both the cape and the S shield.

Green Lantern: TV Spot. Yes Another One

I am posting this just because of how funny it is. Kilowog does look smelly.

The DCU Heroes: Something Really Big Changed. I think??

These are the new heroes of the DC Universe. What is different about them?

For now, all we can go off of, is this picture of the heroes who will be in Geoff Johns's and Jim Lee's Justice League.

If you look closely there is a major change. A MAJOR CHANGE!!!

Can you see it?

Is it a mistake? Do I need a better pair of glasses?

No, its not Supes missing undies. Nor is it the Bat-Armor and it's a bigger change than Wonder Woman's costume...

Still don't see it.... well here it is.
