Courtesy of Comics Alliance. The new event will feature in backup stories in Batman and Detective Comics overseen by Scott Snyder and drawn by Rafael Albuquerque: both of American Vampire fame. Batman will be increased from $2.99 to $3.99.

Personally I'm torn. On on hand, it means I'm paying more for my comics. On the other hand: Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque are going to write a Batman event. I'm excited.

Well, unlike other price increases, this one at least also comes with an increase of content.

Awww, does this mean I'll have to start buying Detective Comics?

Now it looks like the Detective Comics won't feature the backup. Even Comics Alliance crossed the word out.

This makes me happy: now I won't have to buy a new series! grin

So... Owlman shenanigans?

Maybe they'll have someone in the prime universe adopt the Owlman guise and do what Killer Moth failed terribly at (be an anti-Batman), and the "Night of the Owls" is something like the attack of a followers in an "Owlman Inc" to counteract the "Batman Inc."

Granted, I've read absolutely nothing about this event, so I'm just spitballing.

[up]Most definitely Owlman shenanigans. But to what degree, I'm guessing on a city-wide scale.

Price aside this is looking like a good crossover event. Scott Snyder has been doing a good job on the comic so far have no complains about a crossover this early in the new 52.

Best part, it is a Batfamily Crossover that is already heavily build into the current Batman arc, so the other ongoing stories will not be interrupted (My least favorite thing about crossovers. To many good story are left unfinished or are hastily ended to make room for the crossover story).

Okay wait, so it's not really a crossover? I've heard that the Detective Comics back up story is completely unrelated to the Court of Owls.

anyone picking up any of the crossovers I'm surprised Batwoman is in the crossover while all the others in the Bat books and all-star western are a part of the event

I feel like you missed a few words there. But I'm definitely looking forward to this. I assume it has to do with the Court Of Owls and if so, I can't wait. Batman is my second favorite in the new 52, second only to Animal man/Swamp thing.

Remember! Hyperbole is an exaggeration made for comedic effect, and shouldn't be taken literally!

@e X: DC has a strict $3-for-one-story, $4-for-two pricing policy. Not like Marvel, where the pricing seems completely arbitrary.
