The variant cover by Yu remains, it's still by King and Janin, but there are changes afoot. Here's the new cover by Andy Kubert and new solicitation. Colours are, apparently, not final…

In chapter one of "The Fall and the Fallen," Batman escapes his Knightmares only to wind up in a whole other bad dream. He's locked in Arkham Asylum with his worst enemies, and the only way to get out is to fight them all. It's a gladiatorial game of madness and mayhem, all for the amusement of Bane!

Nothing about Thomas Wayne, the Flashpoint Batman, the father dedicated to stopping his son being Batman, anymore. Sorry, looks like you are getting a grand total of none of the answers about him previously promised…
