J.T. Krul and Some Beautiful Green Arrow art.
http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2010/03/18/after-the-fall-green-arrow-rises-again/
I’ve always been a Green Arrow fan. My exposure to him as a kid had been with the Justice League, but The Longbow Hunters by Mike Grell was my first real introduction to him as a solo character.
I like that, similar to Batman, he is self made. He trained to become this archer that can stand on his own with metahumans. A huge difference is his sense of politics in a world that clearly needs someone to be a different voice. He isn’t afraid to stand up for the little guy. I also like the sometimes emotion gets the better of him. He makes mistakes and he isn’t always right. Yet, he picks himself up and keeps trying. There is a humanity to him that I identify with.
Spoiler Alerts to Cry for Justice 7:

Batman Beyond Returns
http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2010/03/17/batman-beyond-returns-in-june/
This has been mentioned at cons over the past couple of years as a possibility and I am thrilled we are not only getting an annual but a mini series. Batman Beyond was a cartoon that really captured the spirit of DC and the whole multiverse concept. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor and grab one of the seasons on DVD. It takes place in a possible future where Batman is retired.

Pete Woods on Action Comics
I’ve been very curious to see who will be involved in the Superman titles, as I have been enjoying them greatly. I am thrilled Pete Woods is going to be on Action as the artist. I’ve liked his take on Clark’s world since the breathtaking Up,Up, and Away arc from OYL. The past year has made me very Superman happy and I am looking forward to the new teams taking that even farther.
Black Mask soon to be officially revealed
http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2010/03/12/who-is-the-black-mask/
I am chomping at the bit for this issue. I’ve shared on the show, over multiple segments, who I think Black Mask is. Being totally honest, even if I am wrong on his identity, the most sincere compliment I can give Tony Daniel is that I actually care. I wanted to follow the mystery. I wanted to look at the clues. I want to know who Black Mask is and retrace the steps. That’s the sign of a very well crafted mystery. This is a great example of why the Dick Grayson Batman is so cool.

Fabian Nicieza named regular Red Robin writer
http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2010/03/11/fabian-nicieza-signs-up-as-regular-red-robin-writer/
I am thrilled by this news. I thought the run Fabian had to close out the Robin series really showed his understanding of what makes Tim Drake such a fantastic character. When he did an interview with us back then, he mentioned how he’d love to do a story that shows the hero Tim really is. I’ve loved what Chris Yost is doing and think this is the perfect choice to continue bringing the character back into the “light”. He’s been through a great deal and now we have him transitioning back to the character we have loved for so long.
I can’t wait to see what the next year brings for Tim Drake and his relationship with the Batman world. Will he remain Red Robin? What will he be like as Bruce’s return gets closer? What will his relationship with Dick be like now that so much of Gotham has changed? Will he be a part of team Batman or more of a free agent? I am just so excited that my head is running through so many possibilities. I am glad he has transitioned back into the character we know and love and it happened gradually. Fantastic news!
