Many people have been wondering why Batman and Robin #7 wasn't included in the recently released DC Comics December solicitations. Well in this weeks DC Nation column Dan Didio had this to say to assure readers why it was missing:

"I even wanted to talk about why we skipped BATMAN AND ROBIN in December, and how issue 7 was so important to events in the DC Universe that it had to come out after BLACKEST NIGHT 6. But I can't do that either".

Stewart Cameron was also a little confused why the issue was missing himself:

"I've had dozens of people ask why Batman & Robin #7 wasn't in the December solicits - I actually don't know, I don't have anything to do with that decision, the book is completely drawn so it's not because we're behind schedule or anything. I'm sure there's a valid reason for it but I'm not the guy to ask".

Cameron but did post the below artwork of Batman and Robin for the fans saying - "This is NOT appearing anywhere in the series, it's not a cover, it's just a drawing I did for my own practice, but it's a decent enough example of what my work on the book will look like..."
