    If you check out the Comicvine video of Tony interviewing Tom, you can see why he prefers to call Batman/Superman the other way round ;) Also, the artist will be Robson Rocha according to the same CV interview (here's his Deviantart account so you can see what his art is like), Tom's arc will take place in the New 52 continuity with a Pre Endgame Batman and a Pre Truth Superman, there's no news on when this will take place yet and lastly, here's a cover by Yanick Paquette from Tom's twitter.

    Ok I looked at the dudes deviant art page and now I'm a fan, as for Tom Taylor his name rings a bell but I can't remember if I have read anything by him. As him calling the book Batman/Superman Insted of Superman/batman, batman/superman just sounds better.

    Let me guess the plot, Superman turns evil and Batman has to stop him?

    Joking aside, could be cool, definitely better than the current stuff. And the yellow belt looksbetter than the red one, and I wanted it like that since that miscoloring in JLA 1.

    After what he did to Earth-2 & Injustice, I'm extremely weary of reading anything else by Taylor.

    I don't think they will change his costume again,in that cover there is simply an error: they have used the jim lee's costume with a yellow belt. They will use the regular updated suit.

    I thought that the few issues that he wrote good Superman in Injustice were very well written.

    Are they keeping Superman's costume consistent? I'm losing track. Haha
