[MartinNL]

Good to see that Batwing and BOP are still safe and are not cancelled after the #0 issues, since there is no mention of a final issue in the Batbooks.

[Xarcon]

Hurwitz is writing Detective #0? That's awesome! I hope he stays on.

[maxpower00044]

Hurwitz writing the 0 issue of Tec. Now, if they'd just let him be the main writer...

[Roland Gunner]

Some interesting artists on there as well. Is this the first time Rafa Sandoval's worked at DC and when was the last time Dwayne Turner drew anything?

[Roldan]

The Authority.

Also i thought Rafa Sandoval was the main artist on X-Men Legacy? Unless it's a typo and it's suppose to say Sergio Sandoval but still.

Also Gregg Hurtwitz on 2 bat books makes me smile. It even reunites him with his Penguin artist, Szymon Kudranski

[batGRRRl4ever]

Jumpin' Jiggly Jello Molds!! Humor from the covers obvious......enhancements....aside, I wasn't expecting for the Batgirl issue to get the story on BOTH her first time in the cowl as well as her post TKJ recovery time. And then in BOP we will see Black Canary & Batgirl's first meeting, should be interesting as they say it's not what we are expecting. Cool also that Benes did the Batgirl promotional art, wonder if this means he is doing the cover for the actual issue.

• How did Barbara first become Batgirl? What led to her to don the cape and cowl?

Sigh, I SO would like for Ed Benes to be the regular artist for this title, also for more vibrant coloring on the book overall.

• Learn how Jason Todd came back to life after being killed by The Joker.

yes its Kenneth Rocafort's art who isn't doing interiors

[SpideyZERO]

A lot of people won't be pleased to see DC messing with Year One and Joe Chill, but personally I can't wait to read them, especially they are in good hands: Snyder and thankfully Hurwitz, not Daniel

Nightwing #0, are we finally getting a transitional issue of Dick going from Batman to Nightwing?
