In this sensational, giant-sized one-shot spinning out of BATMAN INCORPORATED, Batman realizes to his horror that he’s been outwitted as the true identity of Leviathan continues to elude him. Is his deadly adversary an old foe with a grudge to settle, a new face of evil…or something completely different? Only one thing is certain: You won’t soon forget the shocking ending!

Hoho nice, 80 pages? Thats probably going to be atleast 2 issues and maybe half issue of context and then bunch of adds, or maybe 3 issues of context? Still thats bloody awesome.

Can't wait for the Batman Inc. one shot. Hopefully this'll mean we can get the "second season" of Batman Incorporated in either January or February.

Disappoints me that there's still no official date for the JSA reboot, Captain Marvel or any of the other titles DC has said would be in its "second wave" of the relaunch.

The Dark books are all still looking awesome and I hope they stick around for a while, they've been the ones I've most enjoyed of the relaunch.

Oooh, Steel backups in Action Comics? That's the first genuinely exciting thing I've seen in a solicitation in a long time.

Is it me or are there an awful lot of "the answers start in this issue" sort of lines in these solicitations?
