“In both BATMAN and DETECTIVE, Bruce Wayne is going to be the main star as Batman.
Bruce Wayne will once again be the only character to be wearing the Batman costume.”

- Mike Marts, DC Comics

Thank God!

Yes, I've posted Mike's comment already, but I just LOVE how it sounds! Anyway...

Via DC's THE SOURCE BLOG, here's some more details for the "new" Batman monthlies after the upcoming DCU comic book reboot...

* NIGHTWING - "After a tenure as the Batman of Gotham, Dick Grayson resumes his mantle as Nightwing! As Dick embraces his identity, Haley’s Circus, the big top where he once performed with his family, returns to Gotham - bringing with it a history of murder, mystery and superhuman evil. Nightwing must confront friends and enemies from his past as he searches for the source of an even greater evil. NIGHTWING will be written by Kyle Higgins with art duties handled by fan-favorite Eddy Barrows."

* BATWOMAN - "The highly-anticipated new series from the multiple award-winning creative team of J.H. Williams III, Haden Blackman and Amy Reeder begins in BATWOMAN #1.

* BATGIRL - Barbara Gordon is Batgirl and the title will be written by Gail Simone with art by Ardian Syaf and Vicente Cifuentes.

YES!

While I'm not a big fan of "Batman Sidekicks," Babs was -- and now will be -- "My Batgirl." Blame Yvonne Craig, not me. (And for the record, I don't really like THE KILLING JOKE. So sue me.)
