DC Reboot – Babs Back As Batgirl and Other Details

We have an eruption of details for you today and instead of posting them in ten different articles and updating over and over, we've streamlined it all for you in one place. Yesterday we brought you a bunch of Bat info and today that info continues as DC had to reveal the creative teams for the books after someone image farmed most of them yesterday. Today we have more farmed images and a few officials. The first image we have comes from IGN and it's of Barbara Gordon as Batgirl! This exciting since the character has been in wheelchair for a long as time and I think all fans of DC are ready for her to walk again. Hell even Xavier's got his sea legs back so why not Babs? Also that delayed Batwoman book? It's still coming as a part of the reboot... why? Who the hell knows since no one is going to give a damn once Babs returns.

On the rumor mill Bleeding Cool is reporting that Scott Lobdell will be writing both Teen Titans and Superboy along with one more book by him as well. It's good to have Lobdell back in the mix of mainstream comics since he's one of the best.

Then next rumor is that George I Draw Like The 70's Never Died Perez is supposedly taking over on writing and art duties for Superman and that Grant Morrison might be working on a different Supes title, Action Comics maybe? This marks the fourth artist taking on writing duties at DC which means delays. Writer/Artist never keeps up with their schedule no matter how good they are. Just look at Finch's already re-launched Dark Knight title.

In BATMAN AND ROBIN #1, the acclaimed creative team of Peter Tomasi and Pat Gleason will explore the family dynamic of the Caped Crusader as Bruce Wayne battles the Gotham underworld with the help of his son, Damian, in the role of Robin.

Frankly, I could care less about those last two books and if any of them are getting cancelled it’s going to be Batman and Robin. The book seems the most out of place in this post reboot world.
