As Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb Batman comics get later and later, anyone fancy a fill-in from Tony S Daniel and Mark Morales?
Article Summary
- Batman H2SH by Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb faces further delays, with release dates now shifting into October.
- New Batman volume will launch before the current one wraps, causing confusion for fans and collectors.
- Tony S Daniel and Mark Morales tease a three-part Batman story that could serve as a surprise fill-in.
- Bane joins the spotlight in Absolute Batman, while Jim Gordon returns as Commissioner in upcoming arcs.
The Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb Batman H2SH series has, basically, gone bi-monthly for a bit, with the final chapter now out in October, a month after the Batman relaunch by Matt Fraction and Jorge Jimenez, as it currently stands. So, basically, Batman volume five will start before volume four has finished publishing. Unless, of course, DC Comics changes things again. How does it change things? Well, you know, back in the day, they would have just got people to fill in on the comic to keep it on the schedule. Is there anything that might fit the bill?

- Absolute Batman #10
Bane will likely be joining The Joker and Deathstroke in the upcoming unscheduled Absolute Villains one-shot as well. With Jock drawing an Absolute Joker special with Absolute Batman #14 in November. This is, of course, unless H2SH knocks everything back… it is all connected these days, right? Oh look, Absolute Batman #10 is now a week late, slipping from the 9th of July to the 16th of July. You know, I do hope it’s not catching.
