-DETECTIVE COMICS-

DETECTIVE COMICS #871 marks the arrival of new creative team of SCOTT "American Vampire" SNYDER (w) and JOCK (a). I've never read "American Vampire" but I do know Jock does some purty pictures. Snyder says this book will focus on Batman's DETECTIVE skills, which is an aspect often lost... especially in this book. Also, this will be the 2nd (of 3) Bat-Books with DICK GRAYSON as Batman (the others being Bruce Wayne). Release date: Nov 24

-BATMAN: STREETS OF GOTHAM-

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-BATMAN, INC-
BATMAN, INC #1 is GRANT MORRISON's latest Bat-Project. It appears to be a quasi-TeamUp book with Batman, where he's training other heroes to be.... well, I guess members of his "Bat Team" where they will apparently wear his "colors" (whatever that means). Morrison says, "It's all about the franchising." Anyway, for Morrison fans this will be your book. Oh, he's also bringing back the yellow bat chest symbol. Release date: Nov 3
Recommended G.Morrison Batman: "Arkham Asylum", "JLA Deluxe Edition Hardcover Vol 1-4" and "Batman & Robin Hardcover Vol 1"
Recommended G.Morrison: "Animal Man", "Doom Patrol", "Aztek", "All-Star Superman", "Final Crisis" and more.....

-BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT-

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-BATMAN & ROBIN-
BATMAN & ROBIN #17 marks the debut of new creative team of PETER TOMASI (w) and PATRICK GLEASON (a). This was G.Morrison's book but I guess he got bored after 16 issues? It was also the adventures of DICK GRAYSON as BATMAN with little-shit DAMIEN ROBIN. But now that Bruce Wayne has returned, I'm not sure who will be under the cowl in this book. Tomasi and Gleason were awesome on GREEN LANTERN CORPS (sorry to see them leave that title), so I'm interested to see what they'll do with this book. (note: cover is not Gleason art). This is the 3rd (of 3) Bat-Book with DICK GRAYSON as Batman. Release date: Nov 10

-BATWOMAN-
BATWOMAN #0 is an appetizer for the upcoming monthly series. Batwoman was previously hanging out in Detective Comics by GREG RUCKA (w) and J.H. WILLIAMS III (a). This new series, however, does not have Rucka on writing, but instead has Williams. The art alone is worth the price of admission! Release date: Nov 24
Recommended Batwoman: "Detective Comics: Elegy Hardcover"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-BATGIRL-
BATGIRL #15 brings in new penciller DUSTIN NGUYEN (Batman: Streets of Gotham). Batgirl is Stephanie Brown (aka The Spoiler) and I've never read an issue of this title. I simply have no interest in the character, nor do I dig the new costume. BUT, I am a fan of Nguyen and the I hear this title sells well. So I'll check it out. I also wonder if Nguyen will do BOTH books or leave B:SOG? Release date: Nov 10

And if that's not enough to fill your Bat-Appetite, there's also these Bat-Related Titles: RED ROBIN, BATMAN CONFIDENTIAL, GOTHAM CITY SIRENS, BIRDS OF PREY, AZRAEL and always few Bat-MiniSeries!
