I'm not expecting much in the way of news for January or February, since they've said the next big wave is scheduled for March. But I guess there's always hope for surprise.

[QUOTE=Morgoth;5774421]So, Waid is getting Batman/Superman, isn't he?[/QUOTE]
Would they cancel and relaunch that series just for Waid?

If you play around with the link a bit, you can get access to DC Connect with solicits now, just saying.
There are a few surprises.

Who knows, but
[QUOTE]The publisher says Waid and Mora's back-up story "is just the beginning" for the creative duo and the two superheroes.[/QUOTE]
I guess now it's obvious.

What do you mean access the solicits? They gave us around a handful as soon as you click on the link, is there a way to see more of them?

It definitely sounds like Waid and Mora might be relaunching Batman/Superman.
As for Batman: The Knight I guess we've never had a series focused squarely on Bruce's training arc.

[QUOTE=Morgoth;5774421]So, Waid is getting Batman/Superman, isn't he?[/QUOTE]
Yes, and from the costumes it looks very much like the sort of throwback that's made possible by the 'it all happened' status at DC. (Batman has those 70s capsules on his belt for one.) It's even called 'World's Finest.' And, even though this only seems to be for one issue, it's being solicited as Waid's return to DC unlike his prior two contributions to anthology books. If he's really back for good, I'm very happy to hear it.

So potentially Batman/Superman and also a Superman solo project with Hitch from Waid? Dude is raring to go. Hope he does a good job.

We haven’t? That’s so weird. Guess we [B][I]have[/I][/B] only gotten it piecemeal.

I'm down :).

Other than flashbacks, anthology stories, or backups, I don't think there was ever a series focused purely on the training.
I wonder if we'll see the Ducard's, Zatara, and Thaddeus Brown show up. I guess this would be the first time to collectively put all the bits and established pieces of his training in one series.

This is the best news of the solicits, really.
Pretty awesome creative team.

I'm hoping that the insistence on calling it World's Finest and [B]Mark Waid[/B] being onboard means they'll remember the final piece of the World's Finest puzzle-- Dick Grayson as Robin!
-
I love me some Waid, and will give almost anything with his name on it a try.
That said, I really hope DC isn't trying a [I]X-Men Legends[/I] type thing with this; I can dig lost stories from the past, but don't try to shoehorn them into continuity in a way that supposedly effects the present.

Seems weird that a book that's either set in the past or out of continuity is going to be a backup story of a actual in continuity event..

(Heck, it was around the time that even [B]Batman[/B] wasn't the regular team-up partner with Superman!)

I enjoyed Chip's Marvel work so I will give Batman: The Knight a try.
