COMICS: Preview Becky Cloonan Art On BATMAN #12

Cloonan joins a super-elite club of female artists to work on a solo Batman book and is the first to do so in nearly a decade. As for the character above, she first showed up in Batman #7 and saved him from perishing from the nefarious machinations of the Court of Owls. Scott Snyder has stated previously to CBR that the issue will focus on expanding the characters backstory.

“That’s the young woman who saved Batman when he tried to escape the labyrinth and ended up in the freezing Gotham bay. The mystery of who she is, why she knows Batman and the secret of their relationship…Becky read the script on the way back from the show, and just did some character sketches of Harper and her brother and the villain of the piece. She was totally on board, and I’m just over the moon about it.”

• It’s the epilogue to “The Court of Owls”!
• The next major storyline begins here!

@Norrin: Yeah, the leaps between Demo to Supermarket to Conan to this is ridiculous. She's insanely good.

KABOOOOM! Capullo's good, but this is Cloonan, y'all. New 52 going all indie-cool. Or Cloonan selling out? Either way, Becky Cloonan doing Batman is all good shit. bringit.

It's only for one issue then Capullo comes back...no worries people. I, for one, am looking forward to it.

"It's only for one issue then Capullo comes back...no worries people. I, for one, am looking forward to it."

Thank you for clarifying that! It's good artwork but I like Capullo a whole lot more.
