Morrison Gathers The ‘Batmen’ Together
Written by Wayne Hall on September 1, 2010 – 10:03 am -
If writer Grant Morrison has his way, the theme music from the old 1960s show will be sung, “Bat-MEN, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, Bat-MEN!”
According to DC Comics’ blog The Source, “not only will Bruce Wayne be returning to a new set of Batman duds, but his first sidekick, Dick Grayson, will continue to fight crime on the streets of Gotham as Batman, and under the banner of Batman Inc.”
So who will star in what Batman comics? The Source elaborates:
“Starting in November, Detective Comics, Batman, and Batman And Robin will feature the ongoing adventures of Dick Grayson as Batman, with Damian as Robin. Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne will take center stage in the pages of Grant Morrison and Yanick Paquette’s Batman Inc. and writer/artist David Finch’s Batman: The Dark Knight.”

White Lantern Batman?
Written by Wayne Hall on August 17, 2010 – 11:33 am -
Those of us following the Brightest Day event in DC Comics know that the White Lantern has appeared, and is seeking someone to wear its ring. Well, according to DC Comics Source, the person it might choose is … Batman?
The cover of Brightest Day #13 does indeed make one think that, with its artwork by David Finch. But DC is cagey when talking about the issue, not mentioning the Dark Knight at all: “Don’t miss the hottest event in comics as Brightest Day continues with the search for a new White Lantern. And Martian Manhunter returns to Mars as we discover the origin of the creature mysteriously stalking him. Plus, the evil within Firestorm now haunts Professor Stein! And Hawkman: betrayed!”
