What is BATMAN: HIDDEN TREASURES?

From what I have gathered DC is is putting out yet another Batman solicit.  Apparently DC has Wolverine envy.

Ron Marz is apparently writing the story and Bernie Wrightson is doing the art.  Other than that, I am confused as what plot direction this book will utilize as it relates to the Batman universe.  Is it Bruce Wayne?  Is it Dick Grayson?  Is it an Elseworld Tale?  Is it set in DC Universe continuity?

If any has any answers it would be much appreciated.  I guess I am just overwhelmed (or underwhelmed) depending on the day.  DETECTIVE COMICS, BATMAN, BATMAN: RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE, BATMAN: LONG ROAD HOME, SUPERMAN/BATMAN, BATMAN BEYOND, BATMAN AND ROBIN, BATMAN INC., and RED ROBIN to name a few.  It's a lot to keep track of as a Batman fan.

THeseare some pages from BATMAN: HIDDEN TREASURES. Any help?

Supergirl and Damien Team-up in SUPERMAN/BATMAN #77 and Why I am Starting to Like Damien Wayne

I will be the first to admit, I did not like Damien Wayne when he was introduced as a character into the Batman family. In my opinion, the Bat family was already too crowded with Bruce, Dick, Jason, Tim, Barbara, Stephanie, etc. I found Damien's character to be the Scrappy Doo or Kazoo of the Batman family.

Now, I am starting to come around about Damien. I like the dynamic he throws into the relationships in and around the Bat family. I especially love the tension between Tim and Damien. The writing of Damien by Grant Morrison Chris Yost and Fabian Nicieza is fantastic. Damien is smart, sharp and very quick witted. Damien's dialogue with Tim is funny and useful to help shape the story of the Bat family in the future. Don;t get me wrong my favorite part of any Tim and Damien encounter is still seeing Red Robin kicks Robin's little pompous butt around Gotham city.

That's why the recently announced team-up of Damien and Supergirl has me really intrigued. I can't wait to read the dynamic between the two. Especially, since Kara and Tim have such a good relationship.

SUPERMAN/BATMAN #77 by writer Joshua Williamson puts the teenage Supergirl together with the talented but rather exasperating new Robin, Damian Wayne. Featuring art by Alé Garza, the issue shows the two heroes facing off against a threat that ties into Blackest Night.

When the issue showed up in October's solicitations, SUPERMAN/BATMAN #77 immediately caught the imagination of comics fans, who guessed at how the pair might interact. After all, they didn't get along so well during their brief encounter in Sterling Gates' World's Finest mini-series.

DC'S ANNOUNCES NEW COMIC - BRUCE WAYNE: THE RETURN HOME

THE REAL BATMAN IS BACK!!!

DC Comics has announced a new series of one-shots that takes a look at Bruce Wayne’s return and how it affects those around him. 

In his absence, his closest allies and deadliest enemies have blazed a new path, creating a Gotham that’s different and in many ways more menacing than the city he left behind. So, how do his protégés, allies and foes react to the man that stands before them?

Welcome to BRUCE WAYNE: THE ROAD HOME, eight one-shots that cover the city of Gotham and beyond, from Dick Grayson and Damian to the Birds of Prey to Red Robin to Commissioner Gordon in stories told by some of the industry’s brightest stars, including Adam Beechen, Fabian Nicieza, Mike Barr, Pere Perez, Ramon Bachs, Marc Andreyko, Cliff Richards and Bryan Q. Miller, featuring a connecting, 8-part cover by superstar artist Shane Davis.

Batman Group Editor Mike Marts give us a tease of what to expect:

“Bruce Wayne’s journey back home has been a long and dangerous road, but before he can assume the mantle of the Bat again, he must first figure out how things have changed in the world around him, how relationships have changed…and how those changes will effect his decisions moving forward as the protector of Gotham City.”

BRUCE WAYNE: THE RETURN HOME begins in October.
