Azrael returns in 2015.

DC Comics announced Convergence – a nine week event massive crossover with heroes from nearly every era and world in the Multiverse.

20 two-part series will take fans into the rival Earths and bring back long-lost characters.

DC recruits legendary writer Larry Hama (Wolverine, G.I. Joe) for BATMAN: SHADOW OF THE BAT with artists: Philip Tan and Jason Paz.

“A year ago, Batman got trapped in Metropolis when hunting down Azrael. Now he must team with the man that replaced him, and see how differently they operate as Batmans.”

Before The New 52, Jean Paul Valley was a Gotham City student who became a member of the Order of St. Dumas. The brainwashed assassin for this religious organization became a member of the Batman cast and eventually became Batman when Bruce was crippled by Bane in Knightfall. Only the Michael Lane version of Azrael appeared briefly in the new continuity.
