DC Announces First New Batman Crossover For The Rebirth Era

Clearly it's solicits time because I don't give a hoot about a crossover in September when we're just past the mid point of June. Ah, three months out solicits... why does this only work for comics? WHY? From DC:

Gotham City is the battleground for the first crossover since the beginning of REBIRTH this past June! “Night of the Monster Men” spans the BATMAN, NIGHTWING and DETECTIVE COMICS issues on sale late September and early October, pitting the heroes of Gotham against a mystery-shrouded foe from the Dark Knight’s past!

Night of the Monster Men – September

Part One – BATMAN #7 On sale September 21 Co-Written by Steve Orlando and Tom King Art by Riley Rossmo

As a huge storm approaches, Batman, Batwoman and Nightwing try and prepare Gotham City for the worst, but nothing can prepare the heroes for the enormous monsters rampaging through the streets! Batman will need all of his allies to unite in order to stop these mad science monsters from tearing Gotham apart!

Part Two – NIGHTWING #5 On sale September 21 Co-Written by Steve Orlando and Tim Seeley Art by Roge Antonio

The Monster Men are stomping their way through Gotham City! How can the Bat-team take on both these monsters and the storm of the century? And when Nightwing goes behind the scenes to discover where these monsters originated, what he finds lurking in the shadows might be worse than the monsters themselves!

Part Three – DETECTIVE COMICS #941 On sale September 28 Co-Written by Steve Orlando and James Tynion IV Art by Andy MacDonald

Batman and Batwoman take to the streets in a motorcycle death race against a monster that transforms faster than either of them can keep up! And at Blackgate Prison, something truly terrifying is growing in the prison’s darkest depths… and its eggs are hatching!

Parts Four through Six of "NIGHT OF THE MONSTER MEN" concludes the storyline in the pages of BATMAN #8, NIGHTWING #6 and DETECTIVE COMICS #942, to be solicited next month.
