DC RELAUNCHING entire Universe in September

Batman Inc. #3 is being delayed "out of respect for the victims and families in Aurora":

URGENT SHIPPING UPDATE ON BATMAN INCORPORATED #3

Out of respect for the victims and families in Aurora, Colorado DC Entertainment has made the decision to postpone the release of BATMAN INCORPORATED #3 for one month because the comic contains content that may be perceived as insensitive in light of recent events. We request that retailers do not make this issue available as previously solicited. Its new on sale date is August 22, 2012.

This includes all versions of BATMAN INCORPORATED #3, previously set to go on sale 7/25 and arriving at retail on Tuesday 7/24 and Wednesday 7/25:

MAY 120220 BATMAN INCORPORATED #3
MAY 120221 BATMAN INCORPORATED #3 VARIANT EDITION
MAY 120222 BATMAN INCORPORATED #3 BLACK & WHITE VARIANT EDITION
MAY 120223 BATMAN INCORPORATED #3 COMBO PACK

Please note that the Digital version of this title will also be postponed.

Weird.

stupid.

I mean, it was a tragedy, no doubt. But delaying the numbers of the box office? Now delaying comics?

 

[Agent23]

It's just a nice gesture. It's not really a big deal, But, I get what they are trying to do and applaud it.

 

[bloodgear]

It really depends on what's in it. It's the only one cancelled so it must contain something along the same lines of what happened. I say good call.

Now Grant Morrison's leaving Superhero comics! After Action Comics #16 and Batman Inc #12, he's gone!

I've given up on J.L.I. I don't want to read the Booster (Gold) Bunch.

I guess I was just nostalgic for the 90's JLI (and JL).

Still staying with the Batman titles, JLA, Earth 2, and Power Girl & Huntress (Earth's Finest).

Are they relaunching the relaunch?

[Buttmunch]

Yeah, I don't get that whole #0 crap. Seems like that is where they should have started at, right?

 

[DarthNeil]

#0... Yawn... They did the same thing in the mid 90's with Zero Hour.

 

[thenammagazine]

This will hopefully all play out as some horrible crossover event with Jim Lee as the main villain.

Let's hope the plot involves time-travel AND\OR an alternate Earth. Oh, and some major hero's got to die heroically--- only to return within the year. My money's on Booster Gold.

Flashpoint set the new 52 up. Its definatley an alternate universe. They can cut and run back to the old standard at any time they want. But since the new 52 is doing well for them, I don't see it happening for a while.

It's doing so well, in fact, that they're rebooting it 12 issues in!

 

[Buttmunch]

Well, yes and no. Its just #0s for one month and then after that they go back to #13. Basically they waited a year to do what they shoulda did 12 months ago

It took them a year to figure out what they were doing.

Thank you, zero issues, for ridding us of Liefeld and his shoulder pad/bandolier/duck feet.

Anybody getting the Aquaman #12 Robot Chicken Variant Cover?

These are probably going to sell like hot cakes since LCSs will be getting 2-4 at most.

 

[batfan08]

I don't know if I'd want that or not.

Is anyone else following Liefeld/Snyder-gate on twitter? It's fantastic.

Wait, is Liefeld actually delusional enough to take shots at Scott Snyder?
