Geeks of Doom Invades WonderCon 2010

All Star Batman and Robin #11 Cover?All Star Batman and Robin will be returning with new issues next year.

Wow, there’s something I never thought I’d be saying. I thought I’d be consoling my grandchildren as they asked me, “Whatever happened to that beautiful Batman book with the swear words blanked out in it?”

Yes, the G*d Damned Batman will be returning in February of 2011 with original creators Jim Lee and Frank Miller, according to Lee, who spoke yesterday at the DCU panel at WonderCon 2010 about the future of the much-delayed book.

The legendary creators will be completing the series under a new title. For the last six issues, the book will be called Dark Knight: Boy Wonder and will ship monthly.

Lee said that the purpose behind the name change and the distant release date is both to ensure that fans get the complete story they were promised, and because Miller recognized the story he was writing did not really fit in the All Star universe, but instead in the Batman: Year One/Dark Knight universe.

Debuting to much fanfare, the origin tale of the crimefighting partnership between Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson has seen numerous delays resulting in only 10 issues being released since 2005.

I’m sure more artwork will be revealed throughout the year, and DC’s The Source already has what appears to be new artwork for the series. But as far as the series actually finishing, I’ll believe it when I see it.

Reporting by Tom Cheredar from WonderCon, San Francisco, CA.
