The BatContinuity Of DC's Batman Comics Today (BatSpoilers)

It's a Tuesday, so DC Comics have only published six Batman comic books today. Quite a light week. But with so many Batman comic books, how do they all line up? Well, we know that Bruce Wayne has been injured in battle against Failsafe and spent time recovering in Atlantis while Gotham fell to the robot, who also defeated the Justice League. How has that affected the other books? Not at all, it seems, except for the launch issue of Batman Incorporated who note Natman's absence – but not why. The world is bigger than Gotham.

Barbara Gordon has her own battles to fight over in Batgirls now that Renee Montoya has been poached as Police Commissioner over in I Am Batman. Maybe. And sets up a new line of communication between the Batgirls and the authorities.
