DC Announces New Batman Identity

The recent solicitation for June's Batman #41 teased an "all-new Batman" to debut in the aftermath of Endgame and Convergence. And with DC's upcoming Free Comic Book Day issue Divergence #1 having already leaked, now we know the identity of this mysterious, robotic figure. It seems that none other than Commissioner Gordon will be taking up the mantle of Batman. One of the stories included in Divergence #1 showcases a smoking, clean-shaven Gordon reluctantly agreeing to take control of this GCPD-sponsored battlesuit. No wonder this Batman wields a gun.

If Gordon seems like a strange choice to become Batman, keep in mind that the character has a military background and plenty of experience dealing with Gotham's villains. Between that experience and the obviously upgraded abilities of this new suit, he may just have a fighting chance.

This isn't the only big change coming for DC's heroes this summer. Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Flash are all receiving new costumes and new status quo changes as well. It's all part of DC's big post-Convergence relaunch.

i don't like it.............

I agree, I'm not a big fan of that move. Maybe I'm just old school, but I can't see Commissioner Gordon as Batman.

Cool

Yeah....I can't see him as Batman either..

Is it just me or is anybody else bothered when they switch the identity of a character. If its something like a bad guy who died and they revive him by making him someone else or something OK. But the main character should never be changed. Like spider-man. Or like wolverine. I realize its just a suit that makes him bad ass so anybody can pt it on and become more than normal but it ruins it for me

Yes...I'm def annoyed when they do stuff like that. So random that he would be Batman..
