DC Villain's Month takes over Bat-comics

We've known for a while now that DC is planning a month where the major villians will take over their respective hero's titles. DC Comics co-publishers Jim Lee and Dan DiDio have just revealed the details of what we can expect.

All titles in the New52 will get at least 1 issue and be designated with a decimal point. For example 23.1, 23.2, etc. All the front and back covers of the issues will have a 3D effect.

Here are the details of each of the current Batman titles in the New52 that will be affected. September is going to be an expensive month for those wanting to keep their collections complete. Click on any of the images to see full sized.
