Throughout the day yesterday, the DC blog revealed details on all of the new & rebooted ‘Bat Family‘ titles that fans can expect to see in the wake of their upcoming Universe reboot (see here).

These announcements follow on from last week’s announcements, when DC first revealed details on 10 of it’s new ‘#1′ issues which will be spinning out of September’s Justice League #1 (see here). They followed this up by revealing details on all of their rebooted and new Green Lantern #1 issues (see here).

Of the titles announced, the majority are reboots of existing titles, but there are two brand new titles amongst the announcements: Red Hood & The Outlaws, and Batwing. Batwing is a spin-off of Batman Inc. featuring the “Batman of Africa”, who will be the first ever black Batman (if you don’t couldn’t Stan Lee’s re-imagined Batman). Is it me, or is it stupid to have a Batman of Africa, I mean it’s a continent, not a country! That’s like having the Batman of Europe! *sigh*

You can find details on all the titles below, with the descriptions written by DC, as well as their creative teams, and the covers to the first issues.

Batwing #1

This September, join with us in this historic moment when the first black character to wear the Batman mantle will be the first to star in his own ongoing series. BATWING will be written by Judd Winick and illustrated by Ben Oliver.

Batman Inc. #1

In the wake of our announcement of a historic line of new #1’s within the Batman family, many of you noticed that while several of the titles and characters spun out of the Batman, Inc. storyline, there was no mention of that series itself - but there’s a reason for that: Grant Morrison’s BATMAN, INCORPORATED series will return with a new issue #1 in early 2012.

Grant Morrison had this to say about Batman, Incorporated:

“Batman, Incorporated will continue through to Issue #10 and August’s shocking season finale that changes the Batman status quo yet again. The series will take a brief hiatus while I work on a major new project to be announced shortly. Batman, Incorporated returns next year with me, Chris Burnham and Batman: Leviathan, the epic 12 part conclusion to my 6 year Batman saga. Don’t miss it!”
