Fans have been speculating that DC would return Detective Comics to its original pre-"The New 52" numbering when the 900th issue of the series goes on sale this April, but the solicitations for that month show otherwise. However, they are still planning on celebrating the fact that the series has reached this landmark number with an 80 page comic for $7.99 by John Layman and Jason Fabok. Despite this being an important issue for the Caped Crusader, it doesn't sound as if we should expect anything anywhere near as big to happen as in Marvel's recent Amazing Spider-Man #700.
