AOL's COMICS ALLIANCE blog on BATMAN AND ROBIN #3, DETECTIVE COMICS #856 and BATMAN: THE WIDENING GYRE #1

So you like Batman, do you? A wise choice. And this week you're going to be rewarded for that decision by the strange and mysterious forces that result in comics appearing at your local comic book stores (I think it's elves. The bake-you-cookies-and-fix-your-shoes kind, not the wield-a-bow-and-arrow and get-an-extra-point-of-dexterity kind). In a move that is both entirely welcome and a little head-scratching all at the same time, this week sees the release of Batman and Robin #3, featuring Dick Grayson as Batman, written by Grant Morrison with art by Frank Quitely; Detective Comics #856, featuring Kate Kane as Batwoman, written by Greg Rucka with art by J.H. Williams III; and Batman: The Widening Gyre #1 with Bruce Wayne as Batman, written by Kevin Smith with art by Walter Flanagan.
