You have to believe that most writers would pass on the chance to take over a title like Batman after Scott Snyder’s incredible 50+ issue run, but Tom King has been doing an excellent job so far of continuing the Caped Crusader’s adventures. This October, the first part of “I Am Suicide” goes on sale, and it definitely sounds like Batman is going to have to put together a very unusual sort of team.

Based on the cover art and solicitation text, it really does seem as if the Dark Knight will be assembling a Suicide Squad of his greatest villains to help take on an even larger threat. Handled the right way, this story has the potential to be something really special, so it should be one worth keeping an eye on. Expect more details to be revealed as we get closer to the Fall or possibly at Comic-Con this week!
