The DC Nation in this week's floppys discuss the cancellation of the Bat-titles, and state that Batman and Detective Comics will be on hiatus. In their place will be the BATTLE FOR THE COWL mini. Tony Daniel says Catwoman will appear in this series that he's drawing and writing. Here is Tony's version of Catwoman in the series, based on his recent ebay auction.



Also, Catwoman makes an appearance in the BATMAN #686 , according to the promo art in Previews for Gaiman's WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE CAPED CRUSADER? She is sporting a costume that is a mixture of the Catmask / and Purple & Green costume from the early Batman issues.

In non-Catwoman news, reports are that 1950's pinup queen Bettie Page is in critical condition. The AP picked up this story, but signs for her recovery are not good. I am sorry to hear this news, but hope she finds peace soon.
