Simon Dark

[G. Wayne]

Apologies if this is in the wrong place. Searching hasn't bought up anything relevant either.

So, the newest Previews features a new ongoing about Gotham's newest guy who dresses up in a costume. Has there been any previous mention of Simon Dark in any of the bat books, or is this something completely out of left field?

It's a brand new character. You can read about the book here (http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=10896). (Scroll a little more than half-way down the page.)

Though the story is set in Gotham City, it has nothing to do with Batman, as I understand it. (And for that reason, I'm sending this thread to the DCU board. Catch, Paul! :D )

There's a new interview (http://www.comicon.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=36;t=006557) with artist Scott Hampton at The Pulse.
