It looks like Batman is getting a new BFF in the pages of Detective Comics this August. Beginning in Detective Comics #1009, the "Take Your Shot" storyline will see Deadshot and Batman team-up! It begins when Batman is concerned that the former villain will revert to his pre-Suicide Squad ways without the influence of Amanda Waller, but it turns out the reason Deadshot came to Gotham City was to seek out Batman's help. Awwww!

We're sure that nothing will go terribly wrong in this team-up, which ties into the Year of the Villain event. Check out the solicit for Detective Comics #1009 and Detective Comics #1010 below, and read DC's full August solicitations here.
