cat and the green on the birds of prey definitely indicate a certain two people appearing in that book.

Catman and Swamp Thing

[RedBird]

I just noticed that Dan Didio is on the villain wheel on that Harley Quinn #27 cover.

[Caivu]

A little sad that Steve Epting's off Batwoman (at least for now), but Fernando Blanco taking over is both good and kinda funny in a meta sense. And I wasn't expecting Kate to guest-star in RHatO, but it sounds fun right now.

Enter Nissa, the seldom seen 15-year-old Batgirl of the future!

This was funny, too. September will be literally her second appearance.

[DragonPiece]

No Duke at all in September, but I am sure people will say the character is getting pushed over others lol.

[Frontier]

Thoughts:

- It'll be cool to see Dick facing off against Minos again.

- I'm not sure how I feel about the Gotham Resistance. I mean, it's a crossover interrupting books, but the premise of all these disparate characters coming together to fight off AU versions of Bat-villains sounds kind of fun. I guess it'll be nice to have Damian back in Gotham and seeing who he (and Babs) will interact with here.

- Looks like we're getting some serious DickxBabs in Batgirl. I don't mind it, but I also don't think it'll go any farther then past teasings of the relationship, if only not to interfere with whatever Seeley is doing with Dick in Nightwing. I guess this does beg the question of what's going on with Shawn.

- It'll be nice to see Helena doing some actual teaching again, though it sounds like Babs and Dinah tag along and things eventually get hairy enough to necessitate some costumed crime-fighting on the field trip.

- So I guess the "War of Jokes and Riddles" broke Kite Man to the point where he acts like he does in his present-day appearances .

- Batwoman dealing with Fear Toxin in her veins while also fending off Colony Prime sounds cool .

- It was probably only a matter of time before Batman had to deal with Steph, though Anarky seems to be the one forcing them into a headlong collission. Though I can't help but be more engrossed in what's possibly going on with Tim...

- Well, if Lex Luthor can run for president, I guess Harley can run for mayor .

- Not counting classic Catwoman's appearance in the Kite-Man spotlight issue of Batman, it looks like Selina's only other major appearance will be in Bane: Conquest.
