Spoilers: Batman Annual #27

DC's The Source has a preview up for Batman Comics Annual #27, which is continued in (thank you,

kingrockwell) Detective #11.

From the entry:
Writer Fabian Nicieza and artist J. Calafiore present a tale of a murdered priest. A desecrated grave marker. A kidnapped child. A secret key. A mystery whose solution could upset the world order. For Batman and Robin to stop the rampage of a zealot named Amon, the Sixth Sinner, they first have to halt a deadlier foe intent on making sure Amon succeeds. To end the killer’s mad scheme, Batman faces Azrael, Death’s Dark Knight.

I'm intrigued. Kind of looks like it might be a fun mystery with some interesting character moments.

	I admit it, I did a total double-take at Dick being called Richard. Incidently, I love how Harvey's being written here. I have a soft spot for that guy :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	When he's written well, it's really fun. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I admit it, I did a total double-take at Dick being called Richard. Same. I think I've only ever heard Damian calling him "Grayson" . . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think every author's trying to hit the right level of rudeness in the name. But then, Damian might be doing that too, trying out different levels of obnoxious, seeing what name irritates Dick or makes him (Damian) feel equal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I really don't understand why Damian doesn't call Dick . . . well, "Dick." I mean, come on! With even the tiniest bit of snideness, it's still way more effective than calling him "Richard." (Reply to this) (Parent)

	The 'Robin and Batman' also caught my eye. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Some months into this and I still (despite my wholehearted attempts) can't see anyone else with pointy ears and the Batcave computer be Bruce. It took my mind a full minute to accept it was Richard. (Reply to this) (Parent)
