DC Comics Relaunch: Batman Family

Today DC Comics announced their Batman related titles for the new relaunch in September. Naturally, Bruce Wayne is once again the on and only Batman, but what is really surprising is that Barbara Gordon is once again Batgirl. I thought it was very cool when, in the aftermath of The Killing Joke, Babs became Oracle and I have dearly loved that character, but, honestly, there is only one, true Batgirl and that is Barbara Gordon. I’m very OK with her walking again and taking up the cowl. What isn’t answered here is what’s to become of Tim Drake and Dick Grayson. There is a Nightwing book rumored, so we will update this article with any further announcements. Here’s how it all breaks down:
