SDCC '15: DC Entertainment announces Batman Eternal sequel w/ "Batman and Robin Eternal"

Looks like Batfans are in for a big treat come Fall this year, as DC Entertainment has announced the much anticipated sequel to the 52 week-long 2014-2015 weekly Batman comic book series that was "Batman Eternal" with the upcoming 26-issue series "Batman and Robin Eternal"!

To be written by Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV with art duties performed by Tony S. Daniel, the new weekly series will explore the "Legacy of Robin" - since the Boy Wonder and Batman's famous sidekick celebrates his 75th Anniversary this year! That means Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, and even Damien Wayne will be in the forefront of the story, as well as other supporting members of the Bat Family. As the cover art previewed in SDCC suggests, Dick will be the primary focus, as well as Harper Rowe/ Blue Bird.

However, the big surprise announcement was that the story will reintroduce another fan favorite Batman supporting character - Cassandra Cain, aka Batgirl in the Pre-New 52 era of DC Comics! After Stephanie Brown/ Spoiler made her comeback in Batman Eternal, Cass' long-awaited comeback in Batman and Robin Eternal is going to excite fans who have waited for her proper introduction to the new DC Universe for a long time.

Batman and Robin Eternal makes its debut on October this year!

Hope everyone has a lovely Thanksgiving this year! :D

Batman Eternal will return for a new "Year 2" batch of weekly comics in 2015

The weekly series that's changing everything in Batman's world is already through its halfway mark... But that doesn't mean that it's going to end anytime soon either, as current writer and Batman scribe Scott Snyder has confirmed that Batman Eternal will return for a second year of week after week comic releases!

Confirming the news via Reddit, Snyder pointed out that more things are in store for The Dark Knight and his world with a "Year 2" for Eternal, which picks up two months after a break that follows the conclusion of the first year in March. A two month hiatus and gap will commence, which will probably pave the way for DC's big crossover event plans for 2015. What that is has yet to be announced, but more on this story can be read via the source post at Newsarama.

Even after Batman's 75th Anniversary ends this year, Batman Eternal and the new storyline "Endgame" in the pages of Batman will go on in 2015.

Batman: Greg Capullo teases Batman: Endgame with a pencilled image

Batman with a gun. Harper Row as Bluebird. And... A masked vigilante that could be the new Nightwing?

These are some of the speculations to come straight out of a pencilled image that artist Greg Capullo tweeted from his official Twitter page, which was featured in Newsarama and is obviously a tease for his and writer Scott Snyder's next big epic Batman story for The New 52 - Batman: Endgame. That begins with issue #35 next month, and as Snyder teased in a video with DC All Access.

Seeing Batman using a firearm may be a big surprise to most since he has the "No Kill" rule, but it certainly is not unheard of. In the early days of Bill Finger and Bob Kane's run with the Caped Crusader, he used guns. Also, it could be a modified stun weapon similar to what an aged Bats used against Superman in Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Seeing Harper Row in action with Batman is not a surprise since this storyline is supposed to take place after the events of Batman: Eternal... But the new kid to the left of The Caped Crusader is a mystery that needs solving. Could it be Dick Grayson back in a costumed identity, or is it Harper's brother joining the fight?

We'll find out soon enough when Batman #35 begins "Endgame".

DC Comics: Gotham By Midnight ongoing series announced

Gotham City may be protected by The Batman from the criminals and supervillains, but there is more afloat beyond the normal that The Dark Knight can only take so much of, and that's why Jim Corrigan is here to take over matters of the Supernatural.

As announced by DC Comics on Blastr and featured by Newsarama, a new ongoing Batman-related series for The New 52 is beginning this November, and it's called "Gotham By Midnight". Spinning off the currently ongoing events of Batman Eternal, Gotham PD's own Jim Corrigan and his alter ego The Spectre will team up with a bunch of other spirit-hunting beings to take on THE "Gotham Underworld", which manifests itself beyond the shadows of the city's gaze. The series will be written Ray Fawkes (who's one of the main writers for Eternal), and will be joined by 30 Days of Night artist extraordinaire Ben Templesmith.

So much like Constantine and Justice League Dark, another supernatural DC Comics title will rise. Gotham By Midnight begins its ongoing run on November 26, 2014.
