Bigger Batman titles are announced :
Detective Comics : Written and drawn by Tony Daniel (this is me puking on my keyboard)
Batman: written by Scott Snyder, art by Greg Cappullo
Batman and Robin : written by Peter Tomasi, art by Patrick Gleason
Batman: The Dark Knight : Written and drawn by David Finch (are they kidding? after the spectacular fail of the first volume just 6 months ago?)
Bruce Wayne will be Batman in all those books. Damian is still Robin.
Bleeding Cool is also announcing Batgirl, Nightwing and Catwoman (no creative teams yet). And finally, Batwoman will be released.
Other Bleeding Cool info : George Perez to write AND draw Superman.
Jeff Lemire to write Animal Man.
Scott Lobdell to write Superboy, on top of Teen Titans and with a 3rd title to be announced.
Seriously, all those creative teams are letdowns. Except for Batwoman of course, but this was decided a long time before Harras came as DC EiC.

FUCK! No Morrison on any Batman? That pisses me off. Out of those 4 Batman titles...possibly Batman and Batman & Robin. Wasn't a big fan of Tony Daniel or David Finch's projects. I'll stick with Batwoman.
While I love George Perez...I just don't know how well he'll do writing and drawing. He's had trouble with getting books out on time in the past due to his health problems.
Definitely not getting Superboy and likely not Teen Titans.
Jeff Lemire on Animal Man? Interesting, I haven't read a lot of his stuff but I know he is hyped up. I thought Sweet Tooth was interesting but I just couldn't get into it. Had hoped Morrison would write Animal Man since Morrison was the person who put Animal Man from Z-List to at least B-List. Any clue on the artist?

No Batman books for me or Catwoman, & it looks like I'll be dropping BoP. Pity.
Jesus Siaz will be great on BoP but Duane S is just...bleh. I truly, truly don't understand DC's reasoning.
Before Simone BoP was very "meh". After she came onto BoP, the series became exponentially better and recieved a lot of critical acclaim as well higher sales. When Simone left, BoP went back down the shitter. When BoP was relaunched a year ago its the same thing; under Simone it recived constant critical acclaim and now they're undoing that. DC really confounds me. I just now want to know what will happen to Secret Six.
Guess only BatWOMAN for me

It makes no sense to take Gail Simone off Birds of Prey unless she requested it. And Duane Swierczynski's comic portfolio doesn't exactly scream "Birds of Prey":
* Moon Knight: Annual #1 (Marvel, 2007)
* Punisher: Force Of Nature (Marvel, 2008)
* Cable #1–25 (Marvel, 2008–2010)
* The Immortal Iron Fist #17–27 (with Travel Foreman, ongoing series, Marvel, 2008–2009)
* Immortal Iron Fist: The Death Queen of California (Marvel, 2008)
* Punisher: Frank Castle #66–70, #75 (Marvel, 2009)
* X-Men: The Times and Life of Lucas Bishop #1–3 (Marvel, 2009)
It looks like he'd more better suited to write something along the lines of Hawkman. He's more a single-character that is "on the edge" such as Cable and Punisher. I did sort of enjoy Cable but thought it got a bit stupid at some points.

From Bleeding Cool:
"DC’s Source blog decided to announce a new Batman Incorporated #1 for next year, by Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham, on their own Source blog (rather than letting IGN have first dibs) along with a statement from Grant Morrison;
Thank you Chris. We at Bleeding Cool feel the excitement. And appreciate your choice of reading material."
Thank the Powers That Be! I kept getting worried about not seeing Morrison's name attached to any title and there's a reason. He's working on something big post-Flashpoint, maybe another weekly title to explore the post-Flashpoint universe?

But that wasn’t enough, we need a statement from Chris Burnham too. He told us “YES!”“Batman, Incorporated will continue through to Issue #10 and August’s shocking season finale that changes the Batman status quo yet again. The series will take a brief hiatus while I work on a major new project to be announced shortly. Batman, Incorporated returns next year with me, Chris Burnham and Batman: Leviathan, the epic 12 part conclusion to my 6 year Batman saga. Don’t miss it!”
Thank you Chris. We at Bleeding Cool feel the excitement. And appreciate your choice of reading material."

It also appears that the 3rd title Scott Lobdell is working on is. I'm...not sure about this. I like the characters but I'm just not sure about it.
IGN Comics gets to show off the cover for Red Hood And The Outlaws #1 by Scott Lobdell and Kenneth Rocafort in which “Jason Todd finds himself as a leader of a team of antiheroes – including Green Arrow’s rejected sidekick Arsenal and Starfire, a former prisoner of intergalactic war.”

DC has announced a whole "new" corner of the DCU, it'll be Vertigo-esque. Including the return of Animal Man, Swamp Thing and a Justice League team that had John Constantine in the roster.
So far the most intersting announcement of all, in my opinion.

Yeah, I'm definitely redoing my pull list. Right now I'm definitely getting
Justice League of America
Justice League Dark
Fury of Firestorm
Mr. Terrific
Batwoman
Catwoman
Wonder Woman in trades
Aquaman in trades
Maybe:
Birds of Prey (not really likely)
Demon Knight (really want to try it out)
I'll also have to determine how much of my current pull list consists of DC and go about replacing them without going over.

Oh my God, looks like DC decided to publish all their shitty creative teams on the same day. Those are seriously bad :
LEGION LOST by Fabian Nicieza and Pete Woods
LEGION OF SUPERHEROES by Paul Levitz and Francis Portela
TEEN TITANS by Scott Lobdell, Brett Booth and Norm Rapmund (check the cover if you dare, then get away from the computer unless you want it drowned in your own puke...)
STATIC SHOCK by writers John Rozum and Scott McDaniel, art by McDaniel and Jonathan Glapion
HAWK AND DOVE by Sterling Gates and Rob Liefeld
Yes. Rob fucking Liefeld. What the fuck? Thank you Bob Harras for bringing the 90s back! So cool! Sure, sure, sure, Mackie will be taking over Superman.
