    Default Frank Quitely on Batman and Robin

    http://www.newsarama.com/comics/0309...n-Quitely.html

    I guess in tomorrow's "DC Nation" page, it shows an "anonymous" drawing of the new Batman and Robin.

    At the end of the article it says
    And now, DC has announced that Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely will team on Batman & Robin, a new seres starting in June.
    So I guess that answers all that speculation

    There's a cover up on IGN as well.

    Now, to speculate further: That looks like Damian as Robin and Dick (maybe Jason) as Batman.

    Damian as Robin I can deal with. I'd have a real problem with Jason as Batman, and I don't think that my love for the Morrison/Quitely team would be enough for me to buy the book.

    It's good to see that Damian will have his own unique Robin costume. It's disappointing to see that Dick (come on, it's going to be Dick) will probably just be wearing the standard Bat-costume.

    If you squint at the cover in the IGN article, it looks like Dick (hopefully) has a new-ish belt.

    The Batman costume as a whole really shouldn't be messed with.

    The Batmobile finally looks cool. Tony Daniel's redesign was spectacularly underwhelming, but Quitely really does that kind of stuff well. I like how his technology has a rather uniform design.

    I agree. I think the only reason there needs to be a replacement Batman in the first place, is so the idea of Batman is still there...if you go and change the costume, you might as well just keep Dick as Nightwing (provided Dick does in fact become Batman, which I hope he does).

    99% sure Robin will be Damian though

    Yeah, hard to see since enlarging the image seems to be a dead-end option at IGN at the moment.

    I can't really agree with that. If it's a new Batman, it should look like a new Batman. No major changes, of course. Keep the cape, mask and emblem constant. But that still leaves room for tweaks to make it unique. I mean you can't tell me it's not Batman if he's not wearing his underwear on the outside.

    See, thats the thing. Cape, mask, and emblem ARE the costume. There's the color scheme and the belt too, but past that, there really isn't anything left to mess with.

    I can't manage to view the large version of the cover. IGN does that to me sometimes. Could someone post it here?
