Newsarama has the a rundown with DC’s executive editor Dan DiDio about a huge Comic Con International announcement: Neil “Sandman” Gaiman will write a two-part “Batman” storyline, with art by Andy Kubert.

The story, called “Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?” is an homage to “Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow,” the Alan Moore story that ended the “Silver Age” run of the character.

The issues are due out in January.
