Artist Chris Sotomayor recently revealed the upcoming artwork for the as-yet-to-be-solicited Batman #685 (tentatively scheduled to hit stores in January '09).
Things going accordingly, this would mean it's the artwork for the much anticipated Neil Gaiman penned "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader" and the first cover to feature a post-RIP (and possibly non-Bruce Wayne) Batman & Robin. And wait, is that Robin actually Damian? What's going on here??

Artist Chris Sotomayor recently revealed the upcoming artwork for the as-yet-to-be-solicited Batman #685 (tentatively scheduled to hit stores in January '09).
Things going accordingly, this would mean it's the artwork for the much anticipated Neil Gaiman penned "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader" and the first cover to feature a post-RIP (and possibly non-Bruce Wayne) Batman & Robin. And it appears as though the Robin in the image could possibly be Bruce's son Damian Wayne and NOT Tim Drake.
The issue's solicitation won't actually come for another month and a half so we're left with just the image until then. But it is certainly an interesting image to be left with...
Also, I apologize for the late update. Last week was a bear. But a BIG bear. We saw Superman traverse the Multiverse, a real trippy re-telling of the origin of the DCU, Slade Wilson gets stabbed, Catwoman says goodbye and that's just week one! This week had TWO Batman RIP tie-in issues from both Nightwing & Detective Comics as the plot thickens with Hush and Two-Face's nefarious plans are becoming more and more revealed.
