Over the weekend, Bleeding Cool ran a number of rumours about upcoming DC Comics.
Now DC Comics PR department has confirmed a couple of them to CBR. Namely Forever Evil Aftermath: Batman Vs. Bane and a new ongoing series Secret Origins. We were able to get further details about what Secret Origins was, a series of retold origin stories of DC characters from rotating creative teams. CBR has confirmed the first of those as the origins of Superman, Supergirl and Dick Grayson by Greg Pak, Tony Bedard and Kyle Higgins with art from Will Conrad, Paulo Siqueira and more.
The Forever Evil Aftermath: Batman Vs. Bane one shot will be by Pete Tomasi, Scott Eaton and Jamie Mendoza.
This bodes will for the rest of the "Tako" leaks, including Justice United #0, JLA not going JLC quite yet, Batman And Wonder Woman and all those animals, as well as our own Dan-Jurgens-On-Aquaman And The Others rumour…
