Batman-in-Comics News Posted by Jett @ 8:00 AM on 7/13/10
* David Finch will be both the writer and the artist on a new Batman monthly -- BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT -- which will begin in November of '10. The new series will actually kick off in October with BATMAN: THE RETURN -- a one shot written by Grant Morrison with art by Finch.
* BRUCE WAYNE: THE ROAD HOME -- a series made up of 8 one-shots -- begins in October. Here's how DC's Bat-editor Mike Marts describes it...
"Bruce Wayne’s journey back home has been a long and dangerous road, but before he can assume the mantle of the Bat again, he must first figure out how things have changed in the world around him, how relationships have changed…and how those changes will effect his decisions moving forward as the protector of Gotham City."

BATMAN AND ROBIN #11, BATMAN CONFIDENTIAL #43, and RED ROBIN #11. You can also pick up Vol. 1 of BATMAN AND ROBIN which combines issues 1-6.
If you were one of those Bat-Fans that walked away from the comics after the (*ahem*) "Omega Sanction," I'd suggest you pick this one up. It's really good -- especially the first story arc.

BATMAN: ODYSSEY - Neal Adams Returns! Posted by Jett @ 9:47 AM on 4/2/10
DC has officially announced BATMAN: ODYSSEY -- a 12-part mini-series launching in July -- which will be written and penciled by the legendary Neal Adams. Here's the description via DC's THE SOURCE...
BATMAN: ODYSSEY, a 12-part mini-series launching in July, brings Adams back to the character he helped redefine. Adams’ energetic, realistic and sweeping style is both timeless and modern, and its an understatement to say his return to The Dark Knight has been something fans have been clamoring for.
ODYSSEY finds Batman facing a series of seemingly unrelated challenges, villains and allies, old and new, that push him to his limits as never before. The battles get more intense and, in turn, more deadly, The Dark Knight Detective discovers that there might be an over-arching force behind his troubles. And if this is so, if there is a dark and mysterious matrix being super-imposed over Batman’s life… what sort of life-changing voyage must he go on to free himself from this powerful and insidious direction?
Worse… where can he go that he has never gone before for his desperately needed Odyssey?
