Tom King reveals Helena Wayne’s new look for Batman/ Catwoman

 

“Hello Helena” indeed.🦇🐈

Looking like a chip off the ol’ Bat and Cat block, Batman Catwoman writer Tom King has revealed a new image featuring the daughter of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle in Helena Wayne - sporting a new look that combines the best of both worlds from her parents with art by artist Clay Mann. As part of his new ongoing series that continues from his Batman run and explores the romance between Batman and Catwoman in the past, present, and future, this new look for Helena begs the question whether she is still using the “Huntress” name, or has embraced her father’s legacy by becoming the new Batgirl or Batwoman thanks to the new cowl that’s very much in line with the original look The Bat-Man had in his first appearance. We’ll know soon enough what this is as Batman Catwoman continues, with solicitations for issue #4 expected to be released soon by DC.

Catwoman gets a redesign from Clay Mann for Batman/Catwoman series

 

Literally we can say "PURRFEECCCT", and this reveal comes just two months before the new series debuts.

Via his official Twitter, comic book artist Clay Mann has revealed the brand new look and costume Catwoman will get in the upcoming "Batman/ Catwoman" miniseries that will be drawn by him and written by Tom King. Designed by Mann himself, Selina Kyle's new suit looks to take inspiration from fan-favorite looks of the Feline Fatale - including her iconic modern look with the goggles and the grey colored catsuit from "Batman The Animated Series". There are also influences coming from her lover Batman himself - with Mann designing a single blade on each of her gloves and a utility belt for her gadgets ala The Dark Knight himself. We'll find out more when the DC Black Label series begins this fall.

The first issue of Batman/ Catwoman will be released on December.

Batman/ Catwoman finally arrives on December 2020 as part of DC Black Label imprint

After nearly a year of postponement and no word of when it would finally hit comic shops, Tom King and Clay Mann's "Batman/ Catwoman" series is finally seeing going to see release literally before the year ends -- with the first issue of the planned 12 issue run hitting comic book shops and retailers this December.

Following the on and off relationship between Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle, the series is a continuation of Tom King's run on Batman -- which highlighted that Bat Cat romance and their ill-fated wedding which was sabotaged and manipulated behind the scenes by a group of villains led by Bane and Flashpoint Batman. The run is also set to introduce Phantasm, aka Andrea Beaumont, into the DC Universe proper for the first time. Beaumont was Bruce Wayne's love interest and fiancee in the Batman: The Animateds Series film "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm", so her inclusion and role in the DC Black Label series will be interesting and a compelling reason to collect the limited series run. For more information and details, check out Newsarama.

Batman/ Catwoman will run from December 2020 to November 2021, with a hiatus on June 2021 to make way for a "Batman/ Catwoman Special" to be released that same month.

Tom King and Jorge Fornes' take on Watchmen's most eccentric hero in "Rorschach"

The mysterious title teased as the latest project for former "Batman" writer Tom King and artist Jorge Fornes has been revealed - a "Rorschach" 12 issue miniseries is coming from DC Black Label, and it adds yet another layer into the expanding "Watchmen" comic universe that was recently explored again in the events of "Doomsday Clock" and then through HBO's "Watchmen" sequel TV Series.

As reported by Newsarama - the new series is set 35 years after the events of the original "Watchmen" series by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, the story follows a world that distrusts superheroes, yet idolize the deceased Rosrschach - with many idolizing him yet his actions are far from that being the definition of a hero.

"So what does it mean when Rorschach reappears as part of a pair of assassins trying to kill the first candidate to oppose President Robert Redford in decades? Follow one determined detective as he walks backward in time, uncovering the identities and motives of the would-be killers, taking him deep into a dark conspiracy of alien invasions, disgraced do-gooders, mystical visions, and yes, comic books."


The first issue of "Rorschach" is set to be released by DC on October 13.

Batman resumes its twice monthly schedule this June; Issue #100 hits on October

With the corona virus pandemic putting a halt to a lot of businesses and practices, DC Comics is already making preparations to distribute their titles once again beginning this May. One of their flagship titles in "Batman" won't be coming back til June 9 - and when it does it will resume its  twice monthly distribution schedule.

That means issues 92 and 93 will hit within June - chronicling the events of the "Joker War" storyline and leading up to the mega-sized release of issue #100 in October. The series is helmed by writer James Tynion IV - and comes after Tom King's epic run on the book which saw The Dark Knight go through several ordeals and tests in his life - including progression in his relationship with Catwoman and his near marriage to her, and a huge battle against his nemesis Bane and his father from the Flashpoint timeline, Thomas Wayne/ Flashpoint Batman.

Tom King reassures fans things go beyond what happens in Batman #50

A great writer knows how to generate interest and hype for something that has built since the very beginning of a storyline, and Tom King has certainly proven himself a master of Batman and his world - bringing things to a head with this week's much anticipated "Batman/ Catwoman Wedding" that will be chronicled in "Batman #50". Now the results of that have been SPOILED by DC and the New York Times, and while that is around in the interwebs to see (at your own risk), King has taken to Twitter to reassure fans that he is far from finished after the issue and the love story between Batman and Catwoman continues under his watch for something going to 100 issues!

Batman 50 is not the end. This is a 100 issue story documenting and celebrating the love of Batman and Catwoman. Whatever happens, whatever anyone says, nothing’s going to spoil that. pic.twitter.com/Crm5t0CKcI

Batman Day: Save the date on September 17, 2016!

It's that time of the year again when a certain Caped Crusader gets a day to himself and his fans celebrating worldwide as well, as DC Comics has officially dated September 17, 2016 as "Batman Day" - the THIRD TIME the event has happened since its inception in 2014 as part of The Dark Knight's 75th Anniversary!

According to Comic Book.com, DC Comics has announced that there will be free comic book giveaways once again, as well as special artists like Frank Miller, Scott Snyder, and Tom King who have worked on the character promoting the legacy Bruce Wayne's alter ego has garnered for 77 years now. There's no better time to celebrate either, as Batman and the rest of the DC Universe have experience a "Rebirth" in comics, as well as Ben Affleck portraying an older and hardened Dark Knight in this year's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and will make a cameo in this August's Suicide Squad.

Prepare for Batman Day on September!

Dick Grayson evolves into something else in new "Grayson" comic series

Consider this a post-FOREVER EVIL spoiler of comic book universe altering proportions... So if you haven't been up to date with the latest happenings in DC Comics' New 52 universe, you have been properly warned.

That being said, the cat has been let out of the bag courtesy of USA Today... BIG CHANGES are happening for Richard "Dick" Grayson, and he's getting the "Secret Agent" treatment in the upcoming "Grayson" comic book series, to be done by the creative team of Tim Seeley of Revival fame and former CIA operative Tom King.

Better known by his persona as "Nightwing", Dick Grayson was the very first Robin and sidekick to Batman, before stepping out of his mentor's shadow and becoming his own man. However, he still maintained ties with the Bat-Family, and even took over as The Dark Knight for a time following Bruce Wayne's supposed death. Now it seems that Dick has to adopt a new role following the result of his identity being exposed in Forever Evil by the Crime Syndicate... And whatever happens as a result of the end of that main event storyline by DC Comics. Only time will tell for certain what follows afterwards. For more on the story, visit the source post at USA Today.

"Nightwing" ends with issue #30 when it hits on May 28, with "Grayson" to follow soon afterwards.
