Well, well… The Source brings us news of four more Gotham-related titles, all featuring female characters, though many are a mystery: Batwoman #1, by the familiar team of J.H. Williams III, Haden Blackman, and Amy Reeder Batgirl #1, featuring the ominously red-headed character already famous from sneak peeks, written by Gail Simone with art by…

In an exclusive interview at IGN, Batman group editor Mike Marts reveals some more of the plans for the Bat-characters post-Flashpoint: As reported earlier, Bruce Wayne as the only Batman and starring in Batman #1 and Detective Comics #1 Dick Grayson future to be revealed later today (presumably as Nightwing, h/t Bleeding Cool) Damian stays…

Hallelujah.

Courtesy of Bleeding Cool, here are two absolutely wonderful Batman covers by Jock and Greg Capullo apossibly for the new #1's of Detective Comics and Batman, respectively.

Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla offer up another fantastic issue of Detective Comics with today's issue 874, continuing the re-introduction of James Gordon Jr. in a tantalizing discussion with his father, while also exploring the aftermath of Dick's exposure to the Dealer's hallucinogenic gas in the previous story arc. There are many intriguing elements to…

According to a new interview with Dan Didio at Comic Book Resources–or, more precisely, a sneak-peak at the cover of Outsiders #40–Batman (Bruce Wayne, that is) will be returning to the Outsiders, though on what basis is still up in the air. This is could be a(nother) perfect forum to showcase the Batman Incorporated concept, of…
