Newsarama continue their weekly Q&A with DCU Executive Editor Dan DiDio, not much this time around for Batman except regarding Batman and Robin #7:

6) Now that the solicits for January have been released, can you talk a bit more about Grant Morrison's "Blackest Knight" storyline [in Batman and Robin #7]? And will it tie in some way with the DCU's Blackest Night event?

DiDio: Can I talk more about it? Actually, no. We even delayed that issue for a month specifically for it to come out post-Blackest Night #6. That's one of the reasons that book got delayed. We looked at what we were trying to accomplish, and even though Batman and Robin #7 was complete, we just felt that we wanted to hold it because of how the events unfolded with the Black Lanterns, and how the events unfolded in Batman and Robin #7. There is a real clear understanding of how they're tied together. But unfortunately, I can't go much further than that. It has to be saved for the story itself.

It was not an easy decision. On a business side, it doesn't make much sense to put your most successful book on hiatus at the final quarter of the year. But it was so important for those stories to fall in a particular order that we decided to move them.

Nrama: It specifically says in the solicitation for Batman and Robin #7 that it contains "additional clues on the details surrounding the 'death' of Bruce Wayne." We've seen Bruce Wayne's skull in Blackest Night. Is that how they tie together?

DiDio: You know what's funny about this? I have six different puns right now that I'm just chomping to say, but unfortunately, they would all give away where the story's going. So I'm just going to have to be quiet on this one. This is very painful, Vaneta. This is very painful. Please move on. Please! For God's sake.
