It looks like Batman will be getting a new sidekick in March Revealed as part of DC's full March 2020 solicitations, in a sentence buried at the bottom of the solicit for Batman #91 by James Tynion IV and Jorge Jimenez, is a question about Batman's new sidekick… Harley Quinn?!

Quinn has said goodbye to The Clown Prince of Crime (watching Alan Tudyk's Joker laugh as it happens is pretty sweet) and is set on being the "queenpin" of Gotham City's underworld.

In recent issues of The Batman's Grave by Warren Ellis, Bryan Hitch, Kevin Nowlan and Alex Sinclair,  we have seen a more bolshy than usual Afred Pennyworth, which must come from being dead Whether it's critiquing Batman as a rich man just beating up poor people in The Batman's Grave #1. Then asking why Batman doesn't[...]
