Yesterday, DC Comics unveiled the cover art to the much anticipated Batman Incorporated #1. Part of DC’s “Second Wave” of reboot books, Batman Incorporated is the relaunch of the popular title written by Grant Morrison. Unlike many of the books in the new DC Universe, Batman Incorporated sees little change from its pre-Flashpoint days. Readers of the first Batman Incorporated run will be able to pick up this new series and, according to artist Chris Burnham, not miss a beat. In fact, this second volume of Batman Incorporated picks up pretty much where the first left off, with Batman and his crew going up against the forces of Leviathan.
In an earlier interview with CBR, Batman Incorporated artist Chris Burnham described the new series like this…
“Well, for the second volume of ‘Incorporated’ there are little changes like Catwoman not knowing who Batman is anymore or Batgirl being able to walk or Commissioner Gordon having red hair now. But all that stuff doesn’t really matter in terms of the ‘Batman Vs. Leviathan’ storyline. I’ve read the story notes and the first couple of scripts, and it’s a brand new Batman adventure with new villains and new characters. And the stuff that’s coming back from the first volume is the core Batman members versus the forces of Leviathan. I think it’s hopefully going to dodge the question of the weird continuity problems. Hopefully we’ll be able to dodge that entirely. So when Grant’s full Batman run is completely done, you’ll be able to read it all from start to finish and the ‘Flashpoint’ thing won’t even register. That’s my hope.”
Batman Incorporated #1 will be available in May, along with five other new series from DC. As more information is released about this new volume of Batman Incorporated, I’ll be sure to keep you updated.
