Morrison To Stay Longer With Batman & Robin

The new year hasn’t dawned yet and things are already looking fairly sound when it comes to the Batman and Robin comic, which is penned by the acclaimed Grant Morrison.
In a recent interview for Comic Book Resources the writer revealed that he’s be staying with the title for a longer period than initially planned. Originally Morrison was only going to writer 12 issues, but the book was extended to 16 issues and will now run for longer.
“I figured once Bruce came back, it would go back to the traditional Batman status quo, which is kind of where I came in,” he told CBR. “But then I had an idea that seemed to me a really exciting way to continue the story in a new direction, so I’m going to stay on for that.
“It’s a different take on Batman and Robin, but I don’t want to say too much until nearer the time. We still have all kinds of twists and turns and shocks to get through before any of that.”
DC announced Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne earlier this month. The six-part miniseries will deal with the original Caped Crusader’s return to the DC universe.
Batman and Robin will continue its run alongside the Bruce Wayne mini series.
“[They] don’t really link up until the crescendo in Batman and Robin #16 which comes out in September 2010,” said Morrison. “You could easily read both books on their own, but it’s more involving to read them together.”
