Major Changes In Batman #41

Batman is set to go through a major change following DC’s Convergence event which runs April through May.

The solicit and cover to Batman #41 has been released revealing a much different Batman.

Series writer Scott Snyder is well aware of the controversy the new Batman will be bringing.

“I’m not going to spoil it specifically, but I can tell you unequivocally, it is the boldest, weirdest, biggest thing we’ve ever tried on the book,” Snyder tod CBR. “I’m not being hyperbolic: You’ll see it, and you’ll be like, “I can’t believe they’re doing that.”

Snyder doesn’t offer much more, but does state he and series artist Greg Capullo will be on Batman through at least issue #52.

Update: Snyder added the following on Twitter.

Update #2: The Batgirl #41 solicit and cover mentions the new Batman (see below).
