'Batman: The Eternal Knight' Panel Highlights!

DC’s Batman: The Eternal Knight panel was star studded with Bat-talent like Batman writer Scott Snyder, Batman & Robin writer Peter Tomasi and Pat Gleason, Detective Comics writer Brian Buccellato, Batman/Superman (still wish it was called World’s Finest) writer Greg Pak, Batwoman writer Marc Andreyko and Batman editor Mark Doyle.

Here are some of the highlights:

Batman Eternal is the ‘spine’ of the Bat-universe and big things will be spinning off from it in October
Robin Rises will mark the unofficial end of the Batman and Robin run that began with the New 52 launch. ‘It’s going to be a 40-some odd-part story with a ‘War And Peace’ feel to it, you’ll see as a story, when it comes to a conclusion there’s a real clear through line to those very first issues…the last ‘Robin Rises’ in December has a one two-punch that delivers a Robin back to the DCU.’
They revealed the new Batman ‘Hell Bat’ armored costume he will utilize in later stories, which will be more sci-fi oriented. He will even run into the New Gods at some point.
Buccellato and Francis Manapul plan to reimagine Anarchy – the character ‘inspired’ by Alan Moore’s V.
Batman/Superman will travel to Earth 2! ‘Batman and Superman get back into our world, and they have a fresh start…the big question is ‘What would happen if when beginning their careers, Batman met Lois Lane and Superman met Catwoman?’ – Greg Pak
In Batwoman they are introducing a new group called The Unknowns which will draw on darker characters like Clayface, Ragman and The Demon
Snyder has already planned out the Return of the Joker
