Fantastic post over at Tony Daniel's blog right now, showing the sketch, ink and final art stages to Batman: Battle for the Cowl #1.

Tony Daniel starts of with a few hint's of who's going to appear...

I'm very honored to be entrusted with this responsibility and will be working hard to ensure everyone stays in character, as well as adding to their characters as well. So I have lots of reading I've been catching up on since there are a lot of peripheral characters in the book. Basically almost anyone that has had anything to do with Batman, allies and enemies alike, makes an appearance.

Also the sketch design shows the character progression and who will be added to each cover to show, as Tony Daniel puts it a poster images of all three covers together.

The cover you see is still in progress. A character or two will be added to the first one, either Black Canary or Man-Bat or both, as well as background elements from the 2nd cover will overlap into the first. So the 3 covers put together will make a large poster image.

Also revealed is the promotion art that will be appearing in the lead up to Batman: BFTC...

We have a crazy 2 page BFTC promo teaser piece that will appear in every DC comic in January coming up and I'll be posting that as soon as they're printed. Perhaps a step by step as well, where we go from sketch, to pencil, to Sandu's inks and Ian's colors. So be on the lookout for that.
