Batman writer Scott Snyder reveals major spoilers coming in tomorrow’s Batman #28 which looks 6 months into the future of the DC Universe.
“I’d say you’re going to learn who the new Kingpin of Gotham is and you’ll be very surprised by that. You’ll learn the fate of Harper Row, and see her in costume for the first time as the character she’ll become,” Snyder told DC Comics All Access. Continue reading BATMAN #28 Shows Future Sidekick?
Harper Rowe is the kick-ass creation of Scott Snyder. The tough teen from The Narrows saved the Dark Knight during Snyder’s The Court of Owls epic. Rowe is back in this week’s Batman #18 in the aftermath of Damian’s death. Will Harper be the next Robin?
“(Laughs)No! I feel badly that everybody is assuming that just because she’s there right afterwards, we were trying to position her as the new Robin. But I can tell you honestly, everybody reading this…she’s not designed to be Robin. I’m not going to give away what happens…whether she would BE Robin or not. But, what the creation of Harper Row was really about was creating a lens for me personally that I could relate to in Gotham, that would be like, a kid, or somebody struggling, as a young person, you’re trying to make ends meet, you’re in this place that’s really tough, nobody believes in you and you have this incredible superhero in town that’s doing these things that inspire you,” Snyder tells MTV Geek.
“So, the genesis of that character has nothing to do with the mythology Continue reading BATMAN Writer On New ROBIN Rumor!

Becky Cloonan is the guest artist on this week’s Batman#12
. This post-Court of Owls issue focuses on Harper Rowe, the girl who saved Batman in issue #7.
“If I could go back in time and tell myself ten years ago that I would be drawing Batman … well I don’t know if I would because I might mess up continuity, so here I am,” Cloonan told THE SOURCE. “I admit that I had some stage fright going in to this book, but Scott Snyder wrote an awesome script about a character that I could instantly identify with, and was on top of that, fun to draw. Harper is my kind of girl- I even had a similar haircut when I was 20, although I was admittedly not as cool.”
“Scott had me drawing her in such cool environments too, from living in her crappy slum apartment to working on The Grid – even stealing cupcakes at Wayne Manor (what did I tell you? She’s my kind of girl!). Every scene had me thinking of how Harper would react in each new environment.”
“A lot of time was spent thinking about her facial expressions and hand gestures, how she does her hair and what her posture is like, building on what Scott had told me about her and using Greg Capullo’s amazing designs to help inform my sense of who this character is. I had a great time drawing this book, and I can’t say how happy I am to have the opportunity to help bring Harper to life. Also, BATMAN!!”
Batman #0 is in September the Greg Capullo returns for Batman #13 – the return of the Joker.
