This Wednesday sees the release of Batman #8, the latest in the Monster Men crossover event for the Gotham books.

Batman just got himself a new costume in Batman Rebirth #1 with that lovely yellow trim around the bat logo.

And in recent years he's had a few new looks – the Robo Batsuit being the more memorable.

But on Wednesday Bleeding Cool understands that he gets a brand new suit. Maybe just for the issue in question, maybe ongoing, I don't know.

However – what I do know is that the suit will be sentient. And can twist and turn independently of the Batman inside.

Yes, it does sound a little Spawn. But I can promise you that it won't look like it…
