Batman And Finch The Boy Wonder

Batman And Finch The Boy WonderNotice, no issue #3 of David Finch's Dark Knight in the January solicitations from DC Comics, despite unveiling the cover a month ago? I hear the boy wonder is a little behind on the title. To the extent that he hasn't finished drawing issue 1 yet, due out on November the 24th. The NYCC preview of which was supposed to be in colour – but it wasn't ready. And he also still hasn't written the script to issue 2, solicited for December. Hence the January #3 solicitation no-show. Expect some date changes.

Why the delays? Well, he's working with Grant Morrison on another time intensive Batbook.

But even with the change of schedule, DC's are planning to get the most out of their unprecedented deal and remind people that David Finch is exclusive to the company – even if right now his books aren't as visible as they may like.

So we see six David Finch covers listed in January's solicitations alone, and he's painting some of them too.

Including the one for the Time And The Batman trade paperback, collecting Batman #700-703. Finch is also listed as the lead artist of that book – when he drew 8 pages and covers.

And then there's the DC Icon cover to Batman Inc #3 – though that piece may well have been yanked from the planned issue 3 of Dark Knight.

So even if the books aren't on the shelves, DC is making sure people know that David Finch is still theirs!
