Batman: The Brave and Bold Panel:
  • Only 13 episodes remain for the show
  • James Tucker (Show's producer) is working on a new show
  • In the new series Young Justice Dick Grayson is Robin
Grant Morrison Panel:
  • Batman 701 & 702 are meant to serve as a reintroduction of Bruce Wayne so it is not so jarring when he returns
  • When asked how old Bruce Wayne and Tim Drake were Morrison said "It doesn't matter. You have to understand: these people aren't real. They don't live in the real world." "You can't make it realistic, because it's not," ... "Batman is 75 years old, and Robin is 74 years old. But they'll never grow old, because they're different from us."
  • When asked about his favorite villain:"It's the Joker. I like the ones I can really identify with, and I really identify with the Joker. He's got something so human, even though he's such a mess. He's got depth. I can't imagine coming up with a Riddler story. It's a nice costume, but I just can't."
  • He has no plans for Bat-Mite as it stands
  • On Batman and Jason Todd:"You're definitely going to see them together,"... "They might not be working together. They might be punching each other."
  • Jason Todd:"redeemable,"... "just messed up. He was a really good Robin. I think there's potential for redemption."
Batman: The Return:
  • Morrison and Yanick Paquette will be on a new book called Batman Inc. Morrison: "This is kind of a team book. I was looking at the Brave and the Bold cartoon, which I love. I kind of wanted to do that kind of thing. Batman with other people. We've come up with a structure that allows us to do something as a team book. That's where you'll see what Bruce is up to." (Check out the interview from IGN we posted below)
  • David Finch is redesigning Batman's costume for the 21st century
  • Catwoman will be appearing in Issue #1 of Batman Inc. which is coming in November
  • Cornell said he is creating lots of British villains for Knight and Squire
  • Dini's new story on Streets of Gotham 'House of Hush' will go until at least December if not January
  • Alvin Lee is drawing a Birds of Prey story
  • Miller said Batgirl is getting a car and a dog in year 2
  • Morrison says Batman: The Return opens with "five pages of bats. It's like a natural history of book. I can't tell you anything, because I'm at the end of my story, so I can't tell you what happens with it."
  • No plans for future Damian says Morrison
  • Cassandra Cain should be back as early has November
  • No plans to give Manhunter her own book
  • "No Vampires in Gotham" new 'Tec writer Snyder says
  • Marts: More Riddler stories to come
