The aftermath of Damian’s death in Batman Incorporated #8 will hit the Batman family in three big books this week. It will be hard to follow Batman and Robin #18. Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason created a masterpiece. This is the issue you show to non-comic book readers to explain the power of graphic storytelling.

Here are 3 Batman books to watch:

Catwoman #18 Bruce is on a dangerous rampage pushing himself beyond his limits in his war on crime. Batman and Selena Kyle have a showdown in a museum over stolen art! Is a catfight with Selena a way to work out his anger and guilt and could the love/hate relationship between Catwoman and Batman change forever?

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!

The impact of Damian’s death in Batman Incorporated #8 is still to be determined in the DC Universe. Batman and Robin by Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason will continue. In DC’s June previews the series becomes Batman and Batgirl but the story tease is Batman VERSUS Batgirl and this question: What would you do to bring someone back from the dead?

Could this mean Bruce would consider turning to corrupt science or sorcery to bring back his son? The idea could led to some interesting stories involving The Lazarus Pit of Ra’s Al Ghul, Continue reading Batman and Batgirl
