  • New #1's from The Source this morning, including Wildstorm folks, a Western anthology, and everyone's favorite Terminator (no, not you, Arnold) – read more, from the announcement: Stormwatch is a dangerous super human strike force whose existence is kept secret from the world. Jack Hawksmoor and the rest of the crew look to recruit two…

  • Oops–in his interview on Newsarama about his coming Red Hood title, writer Scott Lobdell says: Nrama: What do you think of the chance to launch a new #1 with the other titles in this relaunch? Lobdell: Well, without slighting Teen Titans and Superboy, I think Red Hood and the Outlaws is the perfect book to…

  • At the interview at iO9 commenting on this morning's #1 announcements, Dan Didio and Jim Lee had this to say about the Teen Titans and Tim in particular (emphasis mine): Kid Flash, Superboy, and Wonder Girl are part of the Titans roster, but they don't look exactly look like themselves. DD: All of these characters…

  • The Source this morning brings us news of five new titles… and finally, the fate of Tim Drake, though it seems his ties to the world of Batman may be sevrered… From the page itself (too much information to try to summarize): Seven heroes from the 31st century have traveled back to the present day.…

  • Following the events of Bat-Monday (Dark Monday?)–I've never blogged or tweeted so much in my life–I want to collect my thoughts on the status of the Bat-corner of the new DCU… 1. Of course, I am thrilled that Dick Grayson is returning to Nightwing and that Bruce Wayne will now be the Batman. The Dick-as-Batman…

  • On Twitter tonight, Scott Snyder–current writer of Detective Comics, co-writer of Gates of Gotham, and upcoming writing of the relaunced Batman–offered this reassurance: And I know how nervous some of you are about things starting over, but I think all of us in the Bat U can assure you that we're… …as big fans of…

  • After the flood of Bat-related news today, one name went unmentioned: Tim Drake (or Tim Wayne), the current Red Robin and former Robin. He could pop up in the future announcement of Teen Titans #1 (assuming there is one), but as whom? Or maybe, he won't be around post-Flashpoint–maybe, he won't even make it that…
