According to the Blu-Ray back cover of September’s animated Superman/Batman: Public Enemies film, DC’s next animated adventure is called Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. That’s all we know at this stage, apart from it being released sometime next year. I guess it’s a focus on the JLA and the introduction of the Multiverse in animated form.
Courtesy of DC’s blog, The Source comes this look at the new Batgirl series, which lands on August 19. Interior art and cover is by Lee Garbett, with a variant cover by Cully Hamner. The series is written by Bryan Q. Miller, who’s written episodes of Smallville before moving on to a few Teen Titans issues. I was always a fan of the Cassandra Cain Batgirl – the mute daughter of an assassin is a concept to cool to ignore. The identity of this new Batgirl, or possibly new, is unknown yet and DC is playing coy, as they did with all the other Bat-characters post Battle of the Cowl. I hope Cassandra is back, but she’s been absent in the pages of DC comics for a while now, so maybe it’s Stephanie Brown AKA Spoiler AKA Tim Drake’s ex-girlfriend. It’s perhaps likely, as Cassandra never really smiled. Plus that cover doesn’t look like an Asian girl. Maybe, DC will pull a swifty and put one of the Birds of Prey under the mask, such as Misfit or Lady Blackhawk.
