About time, I cannot wait to see how this is handled with the old continuity appearances so it meshes with the new DCU. Since it is wrapping up his first story arc that has lasted the full what 8 issues, ten with the one-shot??

EDIT:

Okay that answers part of my question, read the solicitation lol. Spoilers in it :) Now hopefully Cassandras in it too :)

Stephanie Brown is now confirmed as Spoiler. I wonder if they held Batman Inc #9 back to change the art and put her into the Spoiler costume rather then the Batgirl one...?

Likely, and what about this think i have been out of the loop in most bat books for a while:

"LEVIATHAN STRIKES! rounds out season 1 and is also the prologue to 2012's BATMAN: LEVIATHAN Spam the epic, tragic, final act of a story six years long."

So seriously this story has been going through various comics for six years???

Probably had something to do with it but it's not like INC was on time before the New 52.

I'm guessing nearly the entire issue had to be redrawn.

Ever since Morrison started on Batman with #655. It's all one big story.

Grant Morrison's Batman saga has been 6 years long, yes. Leviathan will be the grand finale. :)

This one shot is going to kick some ass!

Kind of, yeah. It covers everything from Batman & Son up to now.

**X-23_1977** · 09-19-2011, 02:13 PM

So I need to read Batman 655 to the end of Batman and all of Inc plus the one-shot for the full story?

WOW.

In the sense that it's one run.

But, that's like saying all of John Carter on Mars is one story or all the Oz books.

These are stories that have some of the same characters, same settings, and progress from story to story, but they are still, for the most part, individual stories.
