Tony Daniel Replaces Winick, Bags on Batman

After taking a few months off after Battle for the Cowl, Tony Daniel is coming back to Gotham City, replacing both Judd Winick and Mark Bagley on the title to write and draw a six-issue arc beginning in October. This, according to DC’s blog, The Source. As previously announced, Bagley will move to Justice League of America with writer James Robinson.

Daniel told The Source: “It’s a very exciting time right now. I’ve done my research, I’ve chosen my players, and I’ve outlined six months worth of story and I’m in the scripting phase of my first issue. We’ll be seeing the return of some once-familiar faces, faces, I can say, who are not so friendly to Gotham. I’ll be introducing a new character to the city of Gotham. There are also a few surprises in store that I hope will get people excited. “
