Well, there certainly is a lot going on in DC's March solicitations. Things are especially heady in the Batman section. And of course, the big news around these parts is the upcoming Azrael: Death's Dark Knight miniseries.
There's not a lot the be gleaned from that solicitation, however. It seems pretty clear that the Azrael we all know and love will not be taking on the role in this mini. That doesn't mean Jean Paul won't be showing, up, but he's not the "Azrael" mentioned in the title.
That fellow is described thusly: "He was a husband and a father. A brother and a friend. A cop and a dark knight." That's pretty vague, but I imagine that it's probably a reference to one of the "Three Ghosts of Batman" that we've seen in Grant Morrison's Batman run. But that's only speculation.
What we need is one of those all too common Newsarama/CBR interviews with the writer of an upcoming project where he or she teases us with cryptic hints regarding the comic. So c'mon, Fabian Nicieza. Give us a little something. If the newsies won't interview you, I will. Lord knows I've got questions...
