If they all stay the same, it appears that Lee Weeks, who drew the acclaimed Batman/Elmer Fudd Special and Batman Annual #2, will be joining the ongoing series shortly afterwards.

Tom King tweeted out the good news.

Lee Weeks is best known for his work for Marvel on Daredevil where he pencilled the 'Last Rites' storyline, a sequel of sorts to Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's 'Born Again'.

He collaborated with writer Howard Mackie on the Gambit limited series in 1993–1994. At Dark Horse Comics, Weeks drew Predator vs. Magnus, Robot Fighter, and Tarzan vs. Predator: At the Earth's Core crossovers. Back at Marvel, he wrote and drew the Spider-Man: Death and Destiny limited series in 2000 and worked with Tom DeFalco on Spider-Man: The Mysterio Manifesto the following year.

Other Marvel Comics titles he has contributed to include Justice, The Destroyer, Spider-Man's Tangled Web, Captain America #17-20 (with writer Dave Gibbons), The Incredible Hulk, and the five-part Captain Marvel mini-series.

In a brief period with DC Comics, Weeks pencilled the 1997 48-page bookshelf format book, The Batman Chronicles: Gauntlet, which was written by Bruce Canwell. He also worked as a storyboard artist for Superman: The Animated Series.

Weeks is the writer and artist of 'Angels Unaware', the opening three-issue storyline of the eight-issue Marvel anthology miniseries Daredevil: Dark Nights. He worked on Superman: Lois and Clark in 2015 with writer Dan Jurgens. But it's his Batman work of late that has really revived his career, placing him on the best-selling ongoing series in comics.

And there was much rejoicing from a well-known figure from days of past Captain Americas…

Let's keep sneak peeking along…
