IGN Comics have learnt from Mike Marts at the DC office that Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason the new creative team on Batman and Robin starting from issue #17 has been delayed.

Writer Paul Cornell and artist Scott McDaniel will be taking the rains, filling in for three issues. Mike Mart had this to say in his email:

"Both Peter and Patrick were pulling double duty on Brightest Day and Batman and Robin - no easy task, even for dedicated and hard-working creators like these guys," Marts told us via e-mail. "So rather than have them running ragged on both titles we decided to make their lives a little easier by delaying the start of the run on Batman and Robin. This way, they can give priority to the important story lines they're taking care of now in Brightest Day, then recharge and refocus for their debut on B&R.

Tomasi and Gleason will be starting their run from #20 in February 2011.
