The introduction of a new Batwing is hardly a spoiler at this point; incoming series writer Jimmy Palmiotti has already teased it, admitting at WonderCon this weekend that the character would be someone near and dear to the Bat-family.And while there was a bit of speculation among fans as to who the character might be (with some fans even fantasizing briefly about someone like Terry McGinnis), the choice for the new Batwing is surprisingly obvious–and yet one that will have a lasting impact on the Bat-family’s dynamic, especially in the wake of Death of the Family.That’s right–this week, in Detective Comics #19/900, Batman has lost his son and when he reaches out to the other members of his team, they’re non-responsive. Batgirl and Red Robin don’t return his calls, while Nightwing has moved to Chicago to get out of the toxic environment of Gotham.
