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.”

‘Batman Beyond’ Gets Ongoing Comic
Written by Wayne Hall on August 31, 2010 – 10:04 am -
During the recent Baltimore Comic-Con, DC Comics announced that Batman Beyond, based on the popular animated series helmed by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini, will move on from a mini-series to a new ongoing monthly comic, according to digitalspy.com.
The program focused on the adventures of Terry McGinnis, a young student who assumed the mantle of Batman in the future while being mentored by a retired Bruce Wayne.
Two months ago, a six-issue miniseries written by Adam Beechen and illustrated by Ryan Benjamin was released to test the waters, to see if a comic based on the character would sell. Apparently, it did.
No creative team for the new series has been announced yet. Batman Beyond #3 was released this month.
