Batman: Eternal, the new Batman weekly from Scott Snyder, Jason Fabok and more

The 75th anniversary of the comic that first introduced the Dark Knight to the world, Detective Comics #27, is coming soon, March 30th of next year to be exact, and DC are commemorating it in a big way.

Starting some time next year is "Batman: Eternal", a new weekly Batman series, mostly written by current "Batman" writer, Scott Snyder, with art from Jason Fabok. As well as Snyder, some other writers will be on board with the book, with contributions from writers James Tynion IV, John Layman, Tim Seeley and Ray Fawkes.

Snyder told USA Today about the series, including the fact that it's going to have some pretty important moments:

"You'll see some humongous newsworthy stuff in it, I promise,"

As well as a Year-Long weekly series, DC are also making the 27th issue of the current Detective Comics run memorable as well, with a 96-page special issue, with work from creators such as Paul Dini, Gregg Hurwitz, Neal Adams, Frank Miller and Francesco Francavilla.

I think it's pretty safe to say the Caped Crusader's 75th anniversary isn't going to be disappointing.

(Just a quick side note here, I'm not sure if anybody else has noticed, but Nightwing doesn't appear on Jason Fabok's Batman: Eternal artwork above... Beginning to wonder just how much the events of DC's current event, Forever Evil, are going to impact him...)
