They're combining the two issues into a one-shot that comes out...er, sometime between now and the next series.

I just pulled out the issue and kind of skimmed it. The scene with Alfred is interesting but I don't know if I buy that he is some sort of mastermind. I could see how Morrison would do that and somehow explain it to make sense.

As far as I remember Leviathan is just some entity that has agents, training camps, and a virus. I don't really see how or why they are this huge enemy for Batman Inc. Were they hinted at before this and I just missed it?

And DC seem to be pretty committed to making sure this relaunch is completely clean cut, so I don't see them releasing pre-reboot stories after September.

If I'm not mistaken Batman: Leviathan will be 12 issues long.

Can we be sure of that ? Batman is one of the only two properties at DC that did not went to the "continuity chopping block", I don't think it's that crazy to assume that DC didn't want to screw with Morrison's plans for Batman.

There was a pretty big deal made of Dick taking over the cowl and teaching Damian, but I think as long as Nightwing remains connected to Batman Inc the stories wont change too much.

Apparently Bruce Wayne saw the threat that was Leviathan when he went to the end of time and accessed the information on the bio-organic archivers, to which he decided to assemble Batman Incorporated as a way to fight back this threat.

Oh wow that makes total sense. Thanks for clearing that up haha. I think I need to reread like all of Morrison's Batman stuff to see anything that was set up back then.

Yeah they've said that Dick is out of the cowl and is just Nightwing now, but that his time as Batman is still in continuity. But Dick is supposed to be 21 now? So yeah, really cleaning up continuity guys.

It's pretty much confirmed on Batman Inc. #6 when Bruce Wayne sees he remembers little from the archivers because it "felt like a dream".

One of the things I'm wondering is if Barbra is still going to be the Batgirl of the internet when she can walk again. Really I am wondering what is going to happen to Oracle in general.

My guess is Batman Inc will roll out an Oracle AI sort of like Brother Eye but less evil.

Hey so here's something this forum can help me out with, I love all of Morrison's Batman but I never read 52, and there are references to it through Batman, especially pre-R.I.P. So can anyone fill me in on what happened in 52 pertaining to Bats because I really can't be bothered.
