But not so fast. Last week Clayton Henry posted to Instagram, "I was asked to pause work on a Batman title….to work on another Batman title. Yeah, I know. Real life is weird sometimes" and has now clarified that, saying "I'm drawing the interior art for Detective Comics #1114. It will be released October 21. To all of you Jeff Spokes fans, I'm sorry 😆"
