Batman: The Brave and The Bold #3 will now have a lead story by Dennis Culver and Otto Schmidt, in place of the lead story by Tom King and Mitch Gerads continuing from issues 1 and 2, originally solicited for the issue. The synopsis for the Culver and Schmidt story follows below:

While investigating a string of bloody gangland murders, Batman comes face-to-face with the newest member of his rogues gallery–the brutal Mr. Baseball! Dennis Culver and Otto Schmidt tell a gripping, violent tale of the Dark Knight!

The King and Gerads story moves to Batman: The Brave and The Bold #4. The synopsis for that story follows below:

The horror goes on. In the first fight ever between Batman and his deadliest enemy, the Joker came out on top, giddily laughing in Batman's swollen, bloody face. Now it's time for round two. Bruce just learned never to underestimate the power of a man with nothing to lose–time for Joker to learn the same. The award-winning creators behind One Bad Day: Riddler continue their brutal epic!

Here are the full new solicitations for both issues.
