SPOILER ALERT: Batman Inc. #8 cover hits online early

As a big Batman fan and collector, I enjoy Grant Morrison's run on The Caped Crusader and his new direction on the fight against crime with "Batman Incorporated". Not only does Bruce Wayne expand his reach against the cowardly and superstitious worldwide, but the rest of his Bat-Family and allies across the globe get exposure. The first volume of Batman Inc. during the Pre-New 52 era of DC Comics gave us a good look at how expansive that reach was... Now Volume 2 has sank danger's teeth into the core of Batman and his team... With big repercussions to boot.

That being said, next week's release of Batman Inc. #8 is said to have great ramifications for a certain mainstay Batcharacter and a fan favorite. It's pretty much a solid guess who it was going to be... But surprises could be in store for readers especially after what went down with this week's Batman #17 and the conclusion of the Joker centered storyline "Death of the Family". Now, the same guy who spoiled Marvel's "The Amazing Spider-Man #700" does it again with Batman Inc. #8. BE WARNED. THIS IS HEAVY SPOILER MATERIAL, so look at your own risk.


YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

DC Teaser: DC shows off Batman's look in Detective Comics #1!

Revealed in their post via their blog The Source, DC Comics has posted this image of Batman and revealed where one of the one-liners they teased will originate from... in the all-new Detective Comics #1 by Tony S. Daniel! The one liner associated with this fantastic art piece is "He's the worst kind of killer. One with no true pattern". Also, we finally get a glimpse of how Daniel, along with guest artist Ryan Winn, will illustrate his Dark Knight in his run, and the new look appears to be a hybrid of Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" look with "Batman Inc."!
