If you’ve been following DC at all lately, you know that the company has been going through a large number of changes over the past couple of months and today was no exception as the company announced a ton of massive creative team changes. Try to follow me here, here’s a handful of the newly announced ones.

  • David Finch will be writing and drawing the new Batman: The Dark Knight book kicking off in November.
  • Starting in November, Finch will take the reins of BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT, a new ongoing Batman title featuring the hyper-detailed and kinetic artwork Finch has become known for plus his unique and yet classic interpretation of the Caped Crusader. The series will also see him paired with legendary inker Scott Williams. [Full story]

  • Writer Marc Guggenheim will be taking over Justice Society of America this October. No news on the artist for the series just yet.
  • This October, the Justice Society of America is getting a new chairman. And, by “chairman,” we mean a new writer: Marc Guggenheim. Guggenheim, who has a long list of film and comic book credits, will bring his fast-paced storytelling and refined eye to one of the DCU’s most legendary teams. [Full story]

  • Tony Daniel will remain as both the writer and artist of Batman.
  • Tony’s done a bang-up job as both writer and artist on the regular BATMAN series, and after a brief break thanks to the epic 700th anniversary issue and his team-up with writer Grant Morrison to bridge the gap between “Batman R.I.P.” and FINAL CRISIS, Tony Daniel will return to the title as the ongoing writer and artist. [Full story]

  • After signing an exclusive deal with DC last week, Scott Snyder will be taking over writing Detective Comics.
  • It’s with great pleasure that we announce that AMERICAN VAMPIRE writer Scott Snyder will be stepping into the DCU with a major new assignment – ongoing writer of DETECTIVE COMICS, starring Batman, starting in November. Can it get better? Sure — Snyder is now exclusive to DC Comics. [Full story]

Apparently DC has a couple other surprises in store for this week so it’ll be interesting to see if they’re able to top these huge announcements.
